Child Safety

osborne 3.jpg

Every person in the netball community has a responsibility to understand their role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people in our care.

 

Mornington Peninsula Netball Association in line with Netball Victoria is committed to promoting and protecting the rights of children and preventing abuse from occurring by fostering a culture where children feel safe and empowered. 

 

We also seek to ensure the cultural safety of First Nations children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and children with a disability.​

 

Everyone is encouraged to speak up if they have a child safety problem or concern. Young people can make a report, this is not just for adults.
