Safeguarding Children and Young people
Safeguarding Children and Young People at Northern BMX
At Northern BMX Club, we prioritize the safety and well-being of every child and young person entrusted to our care. We believe that every young rider deserves to experience the joy of BMX in an environment where they feel safe, respected, and empowered. That's why we've gone above and beyond to create a comprehensive Child Safeguarding framework.
​
Our commitment to this is demonstrated through:
-
A Robust Child Safeguarding Policy: We've developed a clear and detailed policy outlining our commitment to child safety, prevention strategies, reporting procedures, and the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in our club.
-
Working with Children Checks and Inductions: All committee members and club officials undergo mandatory Working with Children Checks and complete the Safeguarding Children and Young People in Sport Induction with Sports Integrity Australia to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to maintain a child-safe environment.
-
Ongoing Training and Education: We provide regular training and education programs to our members, coaches, volunteers, and parents to raise awareness about child safety, identify potential risks, and promote best practices.
-
Open Communication: We foster a culture of open communication where children and young people feel comfortable speaking up about any concerns they may have.
-
Collaboration: We actively collaborate with external organizations, such as Sport Integrity Australia and Auscycling to stay informed about best practices and ensure our policies and procedures are up-to-date.
We are dedicated to continuous improvement in our child safeguarding efforts. We regularly review our policies and procedures, seek feedback from our members, and adapt our practices to ensure we provide the safest possible environment for all young riders.​
