Child protection seminar (free)

NSW Sport and Recreation is committed to ensuring that the safety, welfare and well-being of children is maintained at all times. Our aim is to promote a safe environment for all children to participate in sporting and/or recreational activities.

Our child protection information seminars will help sport and recreation organisations understand risk management and the importance of establishing sound policies and procedures for people working with children. As an administrator, coach or volunteer involved in sport and recreation, or a contractor working in child-designated areas, our seminars will also assist you to understand your responsibilities under the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998. Child protection courses are approved for 3.0 registration points for Austswim re-registration.

The seminar will cover:

  • Why is the legislation needed?
  • Does it affect me? Does it affect my sport?
  • What do I have to do as an individual or representative of a sport and recreation organisation?
  • How can the NSW Sport and Recreation help with this?
  • Where do we go to from here?

Child protection seminars are free of charge. All you need to do is contact us to reserve your place.
