Member protection in surf life saving

Avoca Beach Surf Life Saving Club is committed to the protection, welfare and well-being of all members and dedicated to providing a positive and safe environment. We follow the SLSA Member Protection Policy and Child Safe Policy.

​

All Members at ABSLSC have a responsibility to protect each other, particularly children and young people, and to create a child-safety culture that is inclusive and nurturing. The responsibilities of members are set out in the Member Code of Conduct in the Member Protection Policy.

MEMBER PROTECTION TEAM

​

Our club has a group of volunteers who look after member protection issues:

​

• Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) - Sarah Winter: The MPIO is available to provide information to members that may have an issue. The MPIO is the first point of contact for any members who wants to raise a concern, complaint or provide feedback. Confidential emails on member protection issues can be sent to the Member Protection Information Officer, Sarah Winter - memberprotection@avocabeachslsc.asn.au.

• Complaints Team: After speaking with the MPIO, formal complaints will be managed by the Complaints Team according to the Complaints Policy. 

• Child Safety Coordinator - Sarah Winter: Supports ABSLS club management to create a child safe environment.  Click here for more on child safety.
