As a Ski and Snowboard Australia affiliated Pathway program Club, Hotham Snowboarders inc adopts SSA model policies and associated play by the rules key policies.
Child Safe Standards apply to sporting organisations that operate and provide sporting services to children across Australia. The Standards apply to organisations as a whole, not only the areas that work with children. This includes:
- Board of management/committee members
- All paid staff (CEO, Executive, employees)
- All volunteers (coaches, officials, administrators, scorers etc)
- All students on placement
- Any contractors that are engaged
Ski & Snowboard Australia and its affiliated Clubs and Pathway Programs are collectively a Child Friendly sport with several important polices that are implemented throughout our sport as part of our commitment to promoting the safety and wellbeing of children. We will communicate and encourage affiliated members to review their culture, processes and practices against the Child Safety Standards and make any changes that are required moving forward.
Understandably, Child Protection can be a sensitive issue to talk about for some people. We believe that being able to freely and openly discuss any items related to child abuse has the utmost importance in ways to protect children and encourage people to do so.
