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.
November 2018 Update
Codes of Conduct
This month we are focusing on the Codes of Conduct. Surf Life Saving members are supported by two Codes of Conduct which represent the minimum standards of member behaviour and must be complied with at all times. The General Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Persons in Positions of Authority in Dealing with Children or Young People which was developed specifically to support the Safeguarding Program. Both Codes of Conduct can be found in the SLSA Member Protection Policy.
This month we are asking our Safeguarding Champions to:
- Add the agenda item to the next Club Executive meeting agenda
- Create a link to the Codes of Conduct on your club website
- Share the codes on your club Facebook page
- Promote the Codes of Conduct via your club newsletter
Resources to help you to complete these actions, including an agenda item and text for your newsletter and Facebook page can be found below. Word document versions are also available on Dropbox.
