The program builds the capacity of SLS to protect our children and young people by providing resources and education to support clubs to provide a safe environment for all members, and is underwritten by the Surf Life Saving Australia Member Protection Policy. Resources, webinars and an online training course have been developed to assist all Clubs to achieve these standards, all of which can be accessed from the SLSA Website.

How To Report
The more people who are aware of the signs of abuse and what to do if they notice them, the more able our organisation is to provide an environment which protects children and young people. It is every club’s responsibility to address complaints, reports or disclosures brought to their attention regarding the health, welfare and safety of members.
This month we are asking that you help ensure awareness of reporting procedures by:
- Tabling the Safeguarding Children – How to Report agenda item at your next committee meeting
- Sharing the How to Report steps on your Website, Social Media and Newsletter
- Displaying the How to Report posters at your club.
We would love for you to share your Safeguarding promotion with SLSNSW – feel free to use the hashtag #safeguarding or #mysurflife and continue to promote how proactive your club is when it comes to member safety.
Resources to assist you can be found below. Word document versions are also available in Dropbox.
