The workshops provide useful information about how your club can create a safe and supportive service environment for children and young people by developing and implementing policies and procedures for managing risks, to assist you to:

• respond to concerns in relation to identified or suspected harm to young people as well as minimise risks in relation to high risk activities, and
• encourage consistency in the delivery of services to children and young people.
