Queensland Little Athletics has a member protection policy and regulations that are aimed at fostering growth and development of athletes in the organisation in a safe and nurturing environment. This policy
is compliant with QLAA policies and State Government Legislation. The State Government Legislation [“Children and Young People Act (2000)] stipulates that all members of an organisation who are in contact with children, should have a “Blue Card”.
All Centres are required to appoint a Volunteer Co-ordinator who is responsible for verifying details and signing off on their volunteer’s applications.
The “Blue Card”, which is issued by the Queensland Government, is evidence that a “Working with Children” Suitability Check has been undertaken by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian.
Any volunteers who do not have children registered and participating in the Centre activities must provide proof of their current Blue Card prior to, being allowed to volunteer their services to the Centre, Region and Association.
QLAA is primarily concerned with the protection of its members – principally children in this case. This Policy is not meant in any way to imply that those individuals who do not have a “Blue Card” must have a “Blue Card”. This Policy is designed as a reasonable and responsible response to regular questions from QLAA Centres on who should have a “Blue Card”.
