Eastern Suburbs Athletic Club are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children/young people by providing a safe and inclusive environment and by ensuring that everyone involved in athletics is aware of their rights and responsibilities in relation to children/young people. Our goal as a community is to create an environment where children and young are able to take part in sport in a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment.
Safeguarding demands ongoing education, awareness, and proactive measures to ensure young athletes are protected. Policies and guidelines exist to help protect young athletes. Please refer to the National Integrity Framework: Australian Athletics Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy. This resource provides comprehensive guidance around protecting our young athletes and responding to the risk of abuse and harm to children and young people.
We encourage all officials, coaches, parents and athletes to familiarise themselves with these policies and to treat safeguarding as an ongoing responsibility; a shared commitment to education and awareness to ensure that our sport remains a safe and positive space for all participants.
