Our Child Safety Commitment

NCSLSC is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people involved in our club. We follow Surf Life Saving Australia policies and procedures to address risks to child safety and to establish child safe culture and practices in line with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.

SLSA Childsafe Policy

Working With Children Check

All North Cottesloe SLSC volunteers in the club are obliged to apply and obtain a Working With Children Check as per the SLSWA Member Screening Policy prior to being deemed eligible to volunteer.

The Working With Children Check (WWCC) aims to increase the safety of children in our community by helping to prevent people who have a criminal history that indicates they may harm children.

Working with Children Checks cost $11.00 for volunteers. WWC forms can collected from the club. The applicant submits their form at their local POST office.
