Child Safe Scheme

At South United Football Club Tamworth, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where all children and young people involved in our programs can thrive. The safety and well-being of children is our top priority, and we recognise the critical responsibility we have in ensuring they are protected from harm.

To keep children safe, we commit to:

• implementing the 10 Child Safe Standards.
• providing a safe and supportive environment for all children.
• making sure that children are not exposed to any form of harmful conduct or abuse.
• empowering children to participate in decisions that affect them and share any concerns they may have.
• making sure children know who to approach if they feel unsafe or have any child safety concerns.

As a child safe organisation, we commit to:

• educating everyone involved in our organisation about what it means to be a child safe organisation, so that we can prevent, detect and effectively respond to child abuse.
• making sure everyone involved in our organisation knows how to appropriately respond to complaints, allegations, disclosures and breaches to our Child Safe Code of Conduct.
• welcoming feedback to continuously improve our child safe policies, procedures and practices.
• making sure that when family and community members interact with our organisation, they are aware that child safety is everyone’s responsibility, and their behaviour aligns with our child safe practices.
