Code of conduct
SSLSC is committed to the safeguarding of children and young people in Surf Life Saving. One way we do this is by ensuring our members behave in a way that creates a safe, positive and inclusive environment. Surf Life Saving's Codes of Conduct represent the minimum standards of member behaviour and must be complied with at all times. Both Codes of Conduct can be found in the SLSA Member Protection Policy.
- The General Code of Conduct covers respect, ethics, professionalism, complying with SLSA rules, policies and procedures, reporting breaches of the Codes or Safeguarding Program, and being a positive role model.
- The Code of Conduct for People in Positions of Authority when Dealing with Children or Young People covers positive guidance, overnight stays, language, role boundaries, transporting children, electronic communication, changing rooms, photography, physical contact, gift giving, wearing of uniforms, and use of alcohol or drugs.
Other policies to read alongside the Member Protection Policy are the Grievance Policy and the Member Protection Complaints Handling Policy.
Members are encouraged to say something if they see something that doesn't feel right, or isn't in line with the Codes of Conduct.
Member Protection Officer
The Member Protection Officer (MPO) provides information and guidance on complaints and procedures, and is the club's first point of call for any enquiries, concerns or complaints about harassment, abuse or other inappropriate behaviour. This may involve a member's behaviour towards another member or a person in the community, or a community member raising concerns about one of our members.
The MPO will explain possible ways to resolve the issue and offer support to both the person raising the concern and the person it concerns. All information is treated as strictly confidential, including from members of the SSLSC Committee.
To bring a situation to our attention, contact us confidentially. We may ask you to submit a formal letter of complaint with details and evidence. The MPO will then investigate so we can take appropriate action.
