At Mentone Life Saving Club, keeping children and young people safe isn’t just about policies – it’s about everyday actions. A child-safe environment looks like clear supervision at training, respectful communication from coaches and leaders, and adults being mindful of boundaries at all times. It also means ensuring change rooms, transport arrangements and one-on-one interactions are handled in ways that protect both our junior members and the volunteers who support them.
At carnivals and social events, the same values apply beyond the sand. We look out for each other, speak up if something doesn’t feel right, and remember that our behaviour sets the standard for the club. When everyone understands their role in creating a safe, respectful environment, children can focus on learning, growing and enjoying surf life saving, and parents can feel confident their kids are in good hands.
