🔴 3rd Grade — 11:40am — Major Semi v Nerang Bulls
🔴 1st Grade — 3:00pm — Major Semi v Nerang Bulls

The 1st Grade semi will be streamed live on the Knights YouTube channel.
📺 Watch here: https://youtube.com/live/te20OY8IBxM?feature=share
Or find us on YouTube — @OWTKnights
Set a reminder now so you dont miss kick-off.
Get there. Get loud. Lets make an away ground feel like The Castle.
OWTK!! 🔴⚫

🛡️ EVERY KID DESERVES TO BE SAFE HERE.
This week we sent our child safeguarding framework to every registered
participant, parent, coach and volunteer through Rugby Xplorer. Were posting
it publicly as well, because a set of policies nobody has been pointed to
isnt doing its job.
── WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE ──
Three documents are published and available to everyone: our Child Safety
Commitment Statement, our Child Safety Policy, and the MPIO Position
Description. The club endorses and follows the Rugby Australia Child and Young
Person Safeguarding Policy, and our Commitment Statement is reviewed annually
by the Committee.
── BLUE CARDS: NO CARD, NO START ──
This is the bit that might need action from you. Anyone in a child-related
role at the club — committee members, coaches, team managers, regular
volunteers — must hold a valid Queensland Blue Card, linked to the Club,
BEFORE they start.
Theyre free for volunteers. Apply or link an existing card at
qld.gov.au/bluecard, then let the Secretary know so we can update the register.
Not sure whether your role needs one, or whether your card is linked to us?
Just ask. Wed rather check than assume.
── IF SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT ──
You have options, and you dont need the clubs permission to use any of them.
• Talk to someone here — Andrew Couper is our Child Safety Officer and Member
Protection Information Officer, and Phil Verheijen is President. It is not
your job to decide whether something is serious enough. Its your job to
share the concern.
• Report through Rugby Australia — including the Speak Up platform, run
independently by Core Integrity, where concerns involving children can be
reported completely anonymously and without involving the club at all.
• Contact authorities directly, any time. In an emergency call 000. Queensland
Child Safety Services is 1800 811 810. Policelink is 131 444.
🔗 Everything, including the policies and all reporting pathways:
guknights.com.au/child-safeguarding
🔗 Rugby AU child safety:
australia.rugby/about/codes-and-policies/child-safety
Were not posting this because anything has gone wrong. Were posting it so
every family at this club knows these protections exist and how to use them.
Thanks for helping us keep the Knights a safe place for every kid who runs out
for us.
OWTK!! 🔴⚫
