INSURANCE
Participants in athletics activities risk personal injury and/or loss. KLAC does not accept responsibility or liability for such injury or loss. If you do not accept the risk of personal injury and/or loss, you should not participate in athletics activities with us.
The Australian Little Athletics insurance scheme provides insurance cover for the benefit of all registered members, participants trialing before becoming members, coaches, voluntary workers and officials of the Centre and its Clubs. This covers a range of injuries and other misadventures during our regular meetings or at LANSW competitions or at KLAC coaching sessions. Further details are available from the Secretary.
KLAC is a party to and endorses the Little Athletics NSW Personal Protection and Intervention Policy. We are firmly committed to a co-ordinated and comprehensive approach to promote the protection of children and adults. In accordance with NSW Government principles for child protection and intervention, we aim to promote a safe envi- ronment for all children and adults and to recognise and notify suspected child abuse and neglect. A copy of our full policy is available on request.
Child members have the right to be safe, be listened to, be respected, be protected from abuse by other children and to be referred to appropriate professional help if needed. Verbal notification of child abuse or neglect related to Little Athletics must be made to the President and to the Chief Executive Officer of the Little Athletics NSW (details on page 3 for contact details). They will coordinate the response of the appropriate government agencies. Such matters will be treated with complete confidentiality.
KLAC has a policy to meet and exceed the NSW Government’s Child Safe Scheme requirements, including obtaining relevant declarations from people having one-to-one supervision of children.
