DIAMOND CREEK WOMENS FOOTBALL CLUB

Child Safety & Wellbeing at Our Club

Our club is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for all children and young people involved in our football community.

​

The safety and wellbeing of children and young people is a shared responsibility — and everyone in our club has a role to play.

​

We have zero tolerance for child abuse, harm, neglect, or grooming, and are committed to acting in the best interests of children and young people at all times.

 

Raising a Child Safety Concern

If you have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of a child or young person — or something simply doesn’t feel right — we encourage you to speak up.

​

Our club uses the SAFE Child Safety Portal, a secure online system that allows child safety concerns to be reported and managed confidentially, respectfully, and in line with our Child Safety Policy and legal obligations. 

​

SAFE can be used to report:

• A child safety concern, incident, allegation, or disclosure

• A reasonable suspicion of harm or inappropriate behaviour

• Behaviour that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe

 

You do not need to be certain to make a report.

 

Reports may be submitted by parents, carers, players, coaches, volunteers, officials, or members of the community. You may choose to submit a report anonymously.

​

What Happens Next

Once you submit a report through SAFE:

• The information is securely received and recorded

• It is reviewed by the club’s nominated Child Safety Officer (CSO)

• The matter is assessed and managed in line with child safety policies and reporting obligations

 

Further detail about how reports are handled is provided within the SAFE portal.

 

Immediate Risk

If a child or young person is in immediate danger, contact emergency services on 000.
