Complaints Procedures

Any matter relating to the abuse or suspected abuse of children and young people (CYP), under the age of 18, must be reported. If you believe there has been a breach of the Child Safe Policy (6.04), please report and submit details of the alleged breach in the SLS Reporting System. If criminal activity has occurred or if you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm or danger, contact the Police (call 000) to report the matter prior to submitting a report through the SLS Reporting System.

For other grievances or complaints, members should seek out their club Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO). Your MPIO will provide you with information about your rights, responsibilities and options. If after discussing the issue with your Club MPIO you wish to lodge a formal complaint this must be done through the SLS Reporting System.
