NOTE: Yep, these resources really only talk about football, not netball. However, the content, recommendations, definitions and strategies still apply to netball, as does AFL Barwon’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding children and young people.

Reporting Safeguarding Concerns

A safeguarding concern can be raised by anyone (a child, young person, family member, carer, umpire, official, senior player, coach, manager, club member or member of the community) and be about anything (facilities, behaviour of another child or young person, behaviour or actions of an adult).

You can report a safeguarding concern by:

  • Contacting a trusted person at your Club via email, phone or in person
  • Notifying the AFL Inregrity Unit
