The Pakenham Floorball Club is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people.
The new Victorian Child Safety Standards (Victorian Government legislation as of January 1, 2017) now applies to sporting organisations that operate and provide sporting services to children within Victoria.
The standards relate to child protection within our Club, and include requirements to have practices, procedures and policies in place.
The Standards apply to:
Committee of Management All volunteers (coaches, captains, team managers, referees, officials, administrators, scorers etc) All students on placement Any contractors that are engaged
Remember: Child safety is about creating a culture and environment within our sport that is supportive and protective of children.

Working With Children Check (WWCC)
It is a requirement of the PFC that all committee members, referees, coaches, team managers, and any other official working with juniors possess a valid WWCC.
Exception: Under 18 year olds do not require a WWCC
If this applies to you, please forward a copy of your valid WWCC to secretary.pakenhamfloorball@gmail.com. A photo taken on your smart phone will be sufficient, as long as the numbers are visible.
If you do not possess a valid WWCC, you will need to apply for one here. A volunteer check is all you need, including for paid referees.
