SLS Policies

Code of Conduct

Our Club is committed to the safeguarding of children and young people in Surf Life Saving. One way we do this is by ensuring that our members behave in a way which 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.

• The General Code of Conduct — expectations relating to respect; ethics; professionalism; complying with SLSA rules, policies and procedures; reporting breaches of the Safeguarding Program; and being a positive role model. Read the SLSA policy →
• The Code of Conduct for People in Positions of Authority when Dealing with Children or Young People — includes expectations relating to positive guidance; overnight stays; language; adhering to role boundaries; transporting children; use of electronic communication; use of changing rooms; use of photography; physical contact; gift giving; wearing of uniforms; and use of alcohol or drugs.

Members are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the Codes of Conduct, and to ensure that their behaviour, as well as the behaviour of others within the Club, is appropriate. Speak up if you see something that doesn't feel right.

Member Protection Information Officers (MPIO)

Cronulla SLSC has a zero tolerance to bullying and harassment. Our aim is for all members to trust one another, ensure comradery and mateship by looking out for each other. We encourage any member to speak up and raise any club related grievances with our MPIOs. We will aim to address such issues and guarantee we won't turn a blind eye on any unacceptable behaviour.
