Introducing your Child Safety Officer: Lisa Haber

Lisa has been an involved with WFC for several years, contributing her expertise in healthcare and her understanding of policies related to children's safety.

Engaging in the sport of footy should be an enjoyable experience. It should provide opportunities to make friends, learn and develop, and fully embrace the benefits of being part of a team. It is essential that you are treated with respect and that all aspects of your involvement, including training, games, and club activities, are filled with happiness.

If there is ever a situation where someone's actions are hindering your ability to fully enjoy your footy experience, remember that you have the right to speak up and report it to someone you trust. Your well-being and enjoyment are of utmost importance, and it's crucial to ensure that any issues are addressed.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to support you and make sure your footy journey is a positive and fulfilling

What should I speak up about?

  • Bullying

  • Violence

  • Being picked on or excluded because of your skin colour, religion or something else

  • Someone posting photos or comments about you online

  • Someone at the club making you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome

  • Parents on the sideline saying hurtful things to you

  • Someone touching you in a way that makes you uncomfortable

  • Anything else that bothers you enough to enjoy footy less
     

Who do I talk to?

It is important to speak up to someone you feel comfortable with and trust when you encounter any issues. There are several individuals you can turn to for support and guidance, including:

  • Your parents

  • Your coach

  • The team manager

  • The club president or secretary
     

Additionally, Lisa, your Child Safety Officer, can provide assistance and guidance in handling any concerns.

Remember, it is equally important to speak up about any other factors that may impact your football experience.

After all, footy is your game too, and you have the right to voice your thoughts and feelings about how it is managed and operated.

Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and concerns with the appropriate individuals. They are there to support you and ensure that your footy experience is as positive and enjoyable as possible.
