Child Safe Resources
Vicsport’s child safe resources are designed for use by clubs, associations, leagues, state sport associations, regional sports assemblies, local governments and other sport or recreation organisations.
The three new documents to help you create a plan have been developed for use by Victorian sporting organisations of all sizes that are getting started on their child safe sport journey. It is important to remember that completing this checklist does not guarantee compliance with the child safe standards (the Standards). Ongoing action and attention to child safe practices will be required.
Additional Child Safe Sport resources can be found at:
- Play by the Rules
- Commission for Children and Young People
- Sport and Recreation Victoria Fair Play Code
- Clearinghouse for Sport
- Department of Health and Human Services – Child Protection
If you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm, call 000.
