Managing high-risk activities guide
This essential resource for managing high-risk activities was developed for the benefit of children and young people who engage in Australian sport. Children and young people all have the right to feel safe in sport, and it’s everyone’s responsibility in sport to keep them safe.
The guide helps sporting organisations identify and reduce risks in environments where children may be vulnerable to harm or abuse, such as:
- overnight camps and competitions
- travelling and hosting arrangements
- change rooms and public environments
- online spaces.
It also offers practical steps for organisations to protect young athletes, from implementing safe travel protocols, to promoting digital safety and clear communication.
