Safeguarding Children & Young People
Dominoes Basketball Club is committed to ensuring that every participant, including children and young people, participates in our programs and activities free of abuse, harassment, bullying or any other form of inappropriate conduct.
Dominoes Basketball Club's Safeguarding Children policies detail our commitment to safeguarding children and young people and other resources in the safeguarding of children and young people.
Our Commitment to Safeguarding Children
Dominoes Basketball Club has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of child abuse and is committed to ensuring all Club activities provide a safe and friendly environment for children and young people. It is imperative that children and young people who access our activities, programs, events, or services feel safe and supported.
We will ensure that child safety is embedded in our organisation’s culture and reflects our commitment to keeping children and young people safe and supporting child and youth safe principles to remain at the forefront of everything we do.
We commit to making sure that everyone involved with delivering our activities, programs, events, or services, from club administrators, volunteers, parents, and participants, understand the important responsibilities they have in relation to child safety.
Our commitment extends beyond creating an environment that minimises risk or danger. We are committed to building an environment that is both child-safe and child-friendly.
We believe every child and young person deserves the right to thrive, learn and grow, and to be respected, valued, and enabled to become an effective adult member of the community. We are committed to meeting the needs of children and young people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, supporting children and young people from all walks of life to feel culturally safe.
Accordingly, all allegations and/or concerns about the safety of children and young people will be treated seriously, in a timely manner, with due process and in accordance with our moral and legal obligations.
Together we can provide an environment in which children feel respected, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
