The policy and guidelines are openly available to all club members and parents of club juniors. Welfare Officer details and copies of the Codes or Conducts and Policies are also available in hard copy in the club container at Cow Roast.
Members are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns that they may have about any aspect of the club with the Club Welfare Officer.
