Community & Sports Club Development

Stronger culture. Safer spaces. More connected clubs.

Why We Exist

Clubs are more than just places to play—they’re where belonging is built. But running a great club takes more than passion. It takes intention, clear communication, and a culture that puts people first.

Our Child Safe Policies

Our policies are universal and foolproof so as your committee evolves and transitions season to season, the policy’s remain relevant and easy for the new members to implement.

We can customise our policies to match your club branding and align with your values.

  • We all want to capture every moment, and it is so very easy to do these days, but it is important to remember that everybody has their own story and taking photos of children without consent can harm them and or put them in danger in some cases.

    Here is an example of a best practice video and photo policy.

  • This is the foundation of Child Safe practice in your club and community

  • A clear and straight forward explanation of expected conduct and behaviour across the club.

  • This defines the appropriate levels of supervision for various activities and clarifies duty of care for the club and parents/guardians.

  • Junior sports teach more than just fitness and ball skills. This policy ensures the priority is for all kids to have fun and to be feel an equal contributor to the team.

  • This helps guide adults and children & young people to use their own images and the images of others safely and respectfully. The impact of poorly managed social media can have a catastrophic impact.

  • Ensuring the rights of all people wihtin or who enter the club community have their rights upheld without bias or discrimination based on gender, race, culture or identity.
