AFL Barwon is committed to promoting and protecting the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people who participate in AFL Football and Netball in our region. This includes any level of the sports, through activities, programs, clinics and /or use of our facilities.

 We have zero tolerance of any harm or abuse and will work actively to prevent it.

Everyone has the right to Be Safe, Feel Safe, Play Safe.
