Working with Children Checks
All members of the age of 18 will require to hold a current Working with Children Check. Safeguarding children and young people is everyone’s business. Life Saving Victoria and affiliated clubs need to fully comply with the Child Safe Standards from 1 January 2017.
It is imperative that we provide a safe and supportive environment for children and young people and, because of the nature of our Club facilities Bancoora SLSC require ALL members aged 18 and over (despite contact with children under 18) to hold a current Working With Children Check (WWCC). WWCCs are free for volunteers and last for 5 years.
