The Youth Involvement Program (YIPs) aims to overcome this retention issue and help develop and engage our young members. YIPs was originally designed by the Anglesea Surf Lifesaving Club in 2002. After great success the program has been adopted by Life Saving Victoria and many other clubs across Australia. Over the past season we have seen hundreds of Victoria’s youth start their involvement in YIPs. In simple terms the YIPs program will reward young members for all the good work they do at your club. Participants can get points for patrols, water safety, organising club functions, mentoring, training and assessing just to name a few areas. Once enrolled, participants can make their way through the bronze, silver and gold levels of the program. Each level requires the participants to achieve a basic number of points and then they will be rewarded with achieving the level. Participants will be rewarded for their involvement in the following activities: • Patrolling • Competition • Club Activities or Fundraisers • Coaching & Officiating • Mentoring & Assisting with Junior Programs Other activities associated with your club can be used to gather points. The program’s flexibility allows for YIPs Coordinators to create points opportunities to all involved specific to their strengths and skills. YIPs Handbook The YIPs Handbook outlines all of the program requirements and will assist clubs in setting up YIPs for their members. This guide outlines: • A step by step process of setting up YIPs • Requirements for running the program • Job descriptions for program Mentors • Examples of letters, articles and other promotional materials • Registration and ordering forms 83 Female Leadership Network Member Protection With female representation in Victoria, now over 50% and climbing, females are an integral part of the past, present and future of the lifesaving movement. We celebrate the many roles and facets that females contribute, pay tribute to the exceptional role of our female volunteers and acknowledge the opportunity that lifesaving brings for females to be active, participate, develop and lead. Member Protection Policy This initiative is something the organisation deems as extremely important part of the future development of our female members and staff. This is another step forward for the lifesaving movement in ensuring that females have the skills, confidence and support to fulfil their future lifesaving and professional ambitions. Moreover to share experiences, inspire and be inspired. The LSV Female Leadership Network (FLN) is open to all Females 18+ within the movement including staff and volunteers members from all roles and facets that have a genuine interest in networking, personal growth and professional development. • Vision: Opportunities to share experiences, inspire and be inspired • Brand: Authentic, Simple, Fresh & Valuable The objectives of the network are: • to enhance the development of our female leaders and our future leaders • create an environment that encourages socialisation and positive relationships between female participants • encourage further involvement and opportunities for females in the lifesaving movement • develop leadership skills through a variety of activities, keynote speakers and networking events • provide the opportunity to develop new networks within lifesaving • provide the opportunity to develop broader professional networks that extend beyond lifesaving and into professional industries and everyday life • partner with other areas of lifesaving to encourage collaboration across all areas of the movement • provide mentoring opportunities to female leaders within lifesaving Networking, mentoring and workshop events are planned to take place throughout the year. Please refer to the FLN webpage for the latest information on upcoming events: www.lifesavingvictoria.com.au/leadershipdevelopment 84 The Member Protection Policy (“policy”) aims to assist SLSA to uphold its core values and create a safe, fair and inclusive environment for everyone associated with our organisation. It sets out our commitment to ensure that every person involved in our organisation is treated with respect and dignity and protected from discrimination, harassment and abuse. It also ensures that everyone involved in our organisation is aware of their legal and ethical rights and responsibilities, as well as the standards of behaviour expected of them. The policy attachments describe the practical steps we will take to eliminate discrimination, harassment, child abuse and other forms of inappropriate behaviour from our activities. Please ensure you are familiar with the SLSA Member Protection Policy 6.05: www.lifesavingvictoria.com.au/resources/documents/SLSA_Member_Protection_ Policy_6.05.pdf Grievance Procedure This procedure explains what to do if you have a grievance about anything to do with Surf Life Saving.

Working With Children Checks Why is keeping children safe so important? Life Saving Victoria is committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of all its members and is dedicated to providing a best practise approach to ensure a safe environment for those participating in lifesaving activities. Life Saving Victoria is a unique organisation that has multiple purposes including community service, sporting, education and leadership opportunities and programs. Each of these individual aspects inter-relate with each other. It is due to the multifaceted nature of Life Saving Victoria, that members 18 years of age and over interact with children across a broad spectrum of activities, that this policy must be broadly applied. As such, any person 18 years and over, in a voluntary or salaried position, who works with person’s under 18 years of age in any capacity is required to have a valid Working with Children Check registered to Life Saving Victoria and their Life Saving Club. The Department of Justice WWC Check website defines the requirement as “Contact that is not incidental to but normally part of providing a service or activity for children” (viewed 1 December 2013, www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au) 86 The following matrix illustrates the nature whereby Members 18 years and over require a WWC Check. Categories Working With Children Check Required by LSV Active (Patrolling Members) Yes Trainers (qualified or unqualified) & Camp Leaders Yes Nipper Programs/Carnivals Yes (qualified or unqualified eg. Officials, Age Managers, Team Managers & Assistants) Associate Members Is required only if and when the member falls under the WWC Check website definition as above. Life Members Is required only if and when the member falls under the WWC Check website definition as above. Clarification regarding persons exempt under the Act - Police Officers and VIT registered teachers The Working with Children Act 2005 provides for exemptions to Police Officers and VIT registered teachers. Life Saving Victoria requires these members to have a WWC Check - despite their exemption under the Act. Why - Without undertaking a WWC Check there is no link between your profession as a teacher, Department of Justice employee and any volunteer organisation in which you participate. If you breach any laws (relevant to this check e.g. sexual misconduct) in the capacity of a teacher or Police Officer, Life Saving Victoria will have no way of being informed of such charges. The WWC Check creates that vital link to ensure any alleged breaches can be picked up by the Department of Justice who then reviews and if deemed appropriate informs all relevant voluntary organisations. A WWC Check will consider offences of a sexual, violent and drug related nature. The check includes: • National criminal record check for relevant convictions, findings of guilt and relevant pending charges • A review of relevant findings from prescribed professional disciplinary bodies (currently only the Victorian Institute of Teaching) 87 There is no difference between a volunteer and employee check except the cost. A ‘volunteer’ WWC Check is free however an ‘employee’ WWC Check requires payment. Please note: a Volunteer WWC Check cannot be used for employment purposes. However you can add volunteer organisations to an Employee WWC Check. If my lifesaving activities involve my own child, why can’t I be exempt? The legislation does provide certain exemptions from obtaining the check. However given the broad nature of Life Saving Victoria’s activities, it would be almost impossible to apply the exemptions. Our clubs provide a broad range of activities from patrolling to competition. Many of these activities involve the same members who may be exempt from some activities but not others. For example a mother could be her child’s Age Manager (an activity directly involving her as a parent) but also a patrol captain (an activity where her child is not involved). Therefore to ensure our members are operating within the legal framework, it is compulsory that all members 18 years and older that fall under the definition of the WWC Check website (as above) complete a WWC Check.

Volunteer Training Please direct any WWC Check related enquiries to the Lifesaving Operations department on 03 9676 6930 or email [email protected].

Table 1: Minimum Annual Patrol Hour Requirements Award Gained/ Returning member proficiency date Active and Reserve Under 15 Active QLD/NSW QLD/ NSW Active and Under 15 VIC, SA, WA & NT Reserve Active VIC, TAS, SA,WA & NT Active and Under 15 TAS January 25 12 16 8 16 February 24 12 15 8 15 March 20 12 12 8 12 April – September 16 8 8 4 4 October 12 8 8 4 4 November 8 4 8 4 4 December 4 4 4 4 4 105 3.5 The minimum patrol hour requirement for a new member, a member rejoining a club (was not a member of SLSA between 1 October to 30 September of the previous season), or a member returning after a leave of absence must not be less than 4 hours before the close of entries for the competition the member wishes to enter. NOTE: For a leave of absence to be recognised in relation to this policy, it must be constituted by the member’s club, and the individuals who meet the leave of absence criteria should be noted in club minutes and endorsed by the respective Branch/State centre by 31 December each year. 3.6 SLSA reserves the right to select members from some or all entries, and to ask the respective State Centre to examine the eligibility of these members. 3.7 Where clubs consider their members are disadvantaged by the minimum patrol requirements in this policy, they may make an application for a variation to the patrol hour requirement through their respective Branch and/or State Centre. This application must be on an annual basis. 3.8 Hours shall only be calculated from the following: a) Rostered patrols (as detailed in state and territory lifesaving agreements); b) Substitute patrols (hours will be credited to the member who has actually undertook the patrol - NOT the member for whom the substitution was done); c) Make up patrols for approved absences as determined by the Club to cover illness, study, competition etc.; d) Voluntary patrols for SLSA approved Support Operations e.g. Helicopter, Jet Rescue Boats, Offshore Rescue Boats, Rescue Water Craft, SurfCom Communication Centres; e) Duty Officers from the time that they are tasked to an incident and when at the scene of an incident for which they have been tasked, and which they are actively monitoring/supervising. f) Water Safety for Junior Activities (not including Surf Sports training); g) Water Safety at both open/senior and junior SLS surf sport carnivals; NOTE: Personal hours for water safety (open/senior and junior carnivals) can only be counted if the member is signed on and completes rostered water safety activities. h) State sanctioned special events and commercial water safety (fee for service): for sanctioned events (e.g. ocean swims and paddle races) and water safety provided under a commercial agreement (including donations to a club or service) that have the endorsement of State/Territory Director of Lifesaving. 106 Exclusions: Hours cannot be calculated from: i) Penalty patrol hours j) Personal Coaching: refers to instances where a coach (paid or unpaid) provides specific tuition in aquatic skills to individual members or a select group of members; k) Training squads (Surf Sports or other): refers to a group of selected members who are being trained by a coach (paid or unpaid). l) State sanctioned special events and commercial water safety (fee for service): for sanctioned events (e.g. ocean swims and paddle races) and water safety provided under a commercial agreement where individual member(s) receives remuneration. m) Surf Sport Official roles e.g. sectional referee, judging in a boat/ elevated platform n) Members employed as lifeguards, helicopter crew or beach inspectors: are not exempt from fulfilling personal voluntary patrol hour obligations. 3.9 All patrol hours must be recorded in the patrol or service logbook and entered in SurfGuard. NOTE: Clubs may record directly into SurfGuard with the permission of the relevant State. 3.10 A member will be credited with and recognised for all beach patrol hours completed irrespective of where those hours were completed. The practical aspect of this is that a member may patrol for one SLSA club and compete for a different SLSA club. Providing that they are not in breach of their financial and club obligations, or patrol hour requirements, at either club, they will be eligible to compete. 3.11 Any member who is a member of more than one SLSA club shall be entitled to compete in intra club events of all such clubs of which they are a member. Default hours 3.12 A member’s patrol default hours and/or missed patrols will be dealt with entirely by the member’s Club(s) - when a person is a member of more than one Club. If the member’s Club believes that the member has fulfilled his/her patrol obligations, then, subject to the minimum number of patrol hours being completed (as per 3.4 Table 1 or 3.5), and all other requirements as set out in this policy being met for the member’s Club(s), then that member will be able to compete. 107 3.13 SLSA has provided the following guidelines in relation to default hours. a) Default hours are recorded when a person who is rostered to a patrol is absent from that patrol without club approval or has not appointed a substitute member. b) If the member arranges a substitute for a patrol, they are not in default if the member who accepted the substitute is absent from the patrol. The person who accepted the substitution is the defaulting member. c) A substitute is another qualified proficient member. NOTE: It is a requirement that the member performing the substitute has, at least, the same minimum qualifications of the person for whom the substitute has been arranged. This will ensure that the minimum patrol strength and qualifications are retained on patrol. e.g., a Bronze award member who requires the substitute must have at least a Bronze award member; similarly, a qualified patrol captain must have at least a member with a patrol captain’s qualification. f) Members holding office in the Association at Branch, State or National level. Note: This is limited to members who hold principal office and does not include members of committees. Application may be made to Branch/ State for clarification/exemption in relation to principal office bearers. g) Members on special SLSA assignment e.g. members of national SLSA/ ILS representative teams for the duration of the competition, instructional tour and/or other approved activity. h) Special deployment on Military Service. 4.4 SLSA also recognise the service performed by Long Service and Life Members from other Australian surf life saving clubs, that is, the exemption from patrol hours applies to a Long Service or Life Member irrespective of where that service was carried out. d) Penalty patrols are excluded from recovering default hours. e) Make up hours are permitted to recover default hours. f) Competitors must not be in default of patrol hour obligations (as determined by their club) at the closing date of entries. 3.14 Penalties including the forfeiture of entry fees shall apply to Clubs entering members who have not fulfilled their minimum patrol hour obligations. 4. EXEMPTIONS FROM PATROL HOURS 4.1 A club may give special consideration for full or partial exemption from patrol obligations to members who fall into any of the following categories: a) Principal Club Office Bearers - President, Club Captain, Club Vice Captain, Lifesaving Director, Chief Instructor, Chief Training Officer, Education Director, Patrol Supervisor, Treasurer, Secretary, and Junior Activities Chair. NOTE: Exemptions for principal office bearers are limited to the above defined roles although it is recognised that some clubs have different titles for members fulfilling these roles. Application may be made to Branch/ State for clarification/exemption in relation to principal office bearers. b) Life Members. c) Long Service Members. d) Reserve Active Members. NOTE: Partial exemption is provided within this policy (see Table 1). e) Members that undertake lifesaving duties in other areas such as offshore rescue boat, aerial services, support services, operational support and similar areas of active surf life saving. 108 4.2 Any exemptions listed above must be constituted by the member’s Club, and the individuals who meet criteria should be noted in club minutes and endorsed by the respective Branch/State centre by 31 December each year. 4.3 SLSA will recognise all Club members listed as a Long Service or Life Member as recorded in SurfGuard. No annual endorsement of Long Service or Life Members is required providing that these members are correctly recorded within SurfGuard. 4.5 It is recognised that some Clubs may require additional patrol hour obligations of members transferring from another Club. It is a matter for the individual Club whether they believe that a member has fulfilled their patrol hour obligation under their individual Club requirements. 4.6 When applying for exemptions, copies of all relevant documents, e.g., extracts from constitutions, by laws and/or minutes of meeting must be attached. 4.7 The information required to be submitted to Branch/State for exemption includes • Name of member • Age • Reason for exemption (as stated in 4.1). 5. ENTRIES 5.1 It is essential that all Clubs completing competition entries ensure the accuracy of the current proficiency details included, and where required by entry bulletin, submit proficiency and/or assessment documentation with their entries. 109 5.2 SLSA reserves the right to conduct random or detailed check of entries and, under such circumstances, selected clubs will be required to submit appropriate documentation to substantiate the current award, proficiency and patrol hour status of those members entered. 5.3 The proficiency and assessment documents shall also be marked clearly to highlight the competitors names listed on the entry forms. 6. AWARDS AND ENTRY CLOSING DATES 6.1 New members who obtain their award after the closing date of entries are not eligible for late entry into competition. 6.2 Proficient age group members who gain their Surf Rescue Certificate or their Bronze Medallion after the close of entries, are considered continuing members, not new members, and therefore may be entered as a late entry in to competitions as detailed in this policy. 6.3 Non proficient age group members, who gain their Surf Rescue Certificate or non-proficient Surf Rescue Certificate Members who gain their Bronze Medallion after the close of entries, are not eligible for late entry into competition. 6.4 Proficient award holders (other than Age Group members, Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Medallion) who gain their Surf Rescue Certificate or Bronze Medallion after the closing date of entries are not eligible for late entry into competition. 7. INTERNATIONAL COMPETITORS 7.1 International competitors wishing to compete in any SLSA championship for their own International Club need to obtain an endorsement from their ILS member organisation that they are not in default of their service, financial or discipline obligations. 7.2 International competitors wishing to compete in any SLSA championship for a SLSA Club must satisfy entry requirements as outlined within this policy. a) SLSA recognise International Lifesaving Federation equivalent awards. b) All International competitors must satisfy the proficiency and patrol hour requirements as set out in this policy c) International competitors must not be in default with their overseas ILS member associations in relation to their service, financial or discipline obligations. 110 8.
