Child Safe Standards
Basketball Moe Inc. is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people.
We support the rights of the child and will act without hesitation to ensure a child safe environment is maintained at all times.
The Victorian Child Safety Standards apply to sporting organisations that operate and provide sporting services to children within Victoria.
What are the Child Safe Standards?
It takes many components to build an organisation with a culture of child safety. The Standards should act as a starting point from which our organisation can take action.
The Child Safe Standards incorporate:
1. Strategies to embed an organisational culture of child safety, including through effective leadership arrangements
2. A child safe policy or statement of commitment to child safety
3. A code of conduct that establishes clear expectations for appropriate behaviour with children
4. Screening, supervision, training and other human resources practices that reduce the risk of child abuse by new and existing personnel
5. Processes for responding to and reporting suspected child abuse
6. Strategies to identify and reduce or remove risks of child abuse
7. Strategies to promote the participation and empowerment of children
Child Welfare Officer
All members and staff are expected to discuss any concerns that they may have about the welfare of a child IMMEDIATELY with our nominated Child Welfare Officer.
The Child Welfare Officer will ensure that concerns/incidents reported to them remain confidential and that the identity of the person reporting the concern/incident is not revealed.
The Child Welfare Officer is required to report all incidents noted by them to the appropriate authority at Basketball Victoria who will then ascertain whether or not the person/s involved in the incident play a role in the organisation and act accordingly.
