CHILD SAFETY

Our Association is a Child Safe Organisation. We commit to providing a safe environment for children in netball and we follow the principles and benchmarks Netball Victoria has in place.

Our Association agrees to comply with the Child Safety Standards through the Child Safety in Netball Code of Conduct and the

Child Safety in Netball Policy.

Netball Victoria has developed Codes of Conduct for all those involved in junior netball:

Code of Conduct - What do I need to know as a parent?

Code of Conduct - What do I need to know as an official (Coach or Umpire)?

Code of Conduct - What does the Club Committee need to know?

There is also A Guide for Teens (aged 13-18 years)

Rise Netball Club has a zero tolerance for child abuse

and we are committed to acting in a child’s best interest and keeping them safe from harm.
