Child Safety Policy

Draft — version draft-2026-10. This document is subject to legal review before publication.

Our commitment

Elite Performance Lab is committed to the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of every child. We have zero tolerance for child abuse and treat all concerns seriously.

Screening of staff

All coaches and staff working with children hold a current South Australian Working with Children Check (DHS screening) and are briefed on this policy before the programme.

Supervision & conduct

Coaches follow a code of conduct: sessions are held in open, visible areas; staff avoid one-on-one situations out of sight of others; physical contact is limited to what is necessary for coaching or first aid; and staff do not contact players privately on social media or messaging apps.

Drop-off & collection

Players are released only to their parent/guardian or an authorised adult nominated by them.

Photography

Images are taken only by authorised photographers and used only in line with each family's consent selections. Players are never identified by full name in public posts without permission.

Medical & emergencies

Medical information is restricted to authorised staff. First aid is available at every session and emergency contacts are accessible to authorised staff on site.

Raising a concern

Any concern can be raised with the Head Coach or by contacting ElitePerformanceDevelopmentLab@gmail.com / 0499 354 667. If a child is in immediate danger, call 000. Concerns regarding abuse can also be reported to the Child Abuse Report Line on 13 14 78.
