🛡️ 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!! 🔴⚫ #GriffithUniKnights #OWTK #ChildSafety #SafeRugby #BlueCard #goldcoastrugby

⚔️ SUPPORT LOUD. SUPPORT HARD. KEEP IT RESPECTFUL. Following the Code of Conduct reminder we sent this week to every member, player and junior family through Rugby Xplorer — and again in this weeks KnightWatch newsletter — were posting it here as well, so it reaches absolutely everyone connected with the club. Finals rugby is emotional. Games are tight, calls go against us, and the stakes feel bigger. Thats exactly when standards matter most. 🔴 PLAYERS — Respect the decision. Let the captain do the talking. Opponents for eighty minutes, rugby people for the rest of it. 🔴 SUPPORTERS — Back your team hard. Dont abuse anyone elses. Stay behind the barrier and off the field of play. 🔴 OFFICIALS — Referees, touch judges and ground marshals are volunteers, and plenty of them are kids. Without them, none of us get a game. There is no version of a bad call that justifies abusing an official. 🔴 IF ASKED — If a Ground Marshal or club official asks you to move or tone it down, please do it. Take it up with the Committee afterwards, not on the sideline. ── THE RUGBY AU GUIDES ── Weve attached Rugby Australias own Code of Conduct guides for players, spectators, and coaches, managers and club officials. Two minutes each, and worth a read whichever one applies to you. Weve also included the Three Strike Policy. In Rugby AUs words, it exists to promote safe and supportive environments for everyone involved in community rugby and it places the onus on CLUBS — not just individuals — to make sure the environment at their ground is safe and suitable for everyone. Every club in this competition is bound by it. Its worth all of us understanding how it works. ── SEE SOMETHING? REPORT IT ── You can raise a concern with any committee member, or lodge it directly with Rugby Australia. Concerns involving children can be reported anonymously, without involving the club at all. 🔗 Report a Concern: australia.rugby/about/codes-and-policies/reporting-a-concern 🔗 Rugby AU Codes & Policies: australia.rugby/about/codes-and-policies 🔗 Three Strike Policy (and FAQs): australia.rugby/about/codes-and-policies/3-strike-policy 🔗 Our Child Safeguarding page: guknights.com.au/child-safeguarding The Committee is also considering a GU Knights Code of Conduct at its next meeting — our own club version in plain English. Well publish it once its adopted. Weve built something good here. Lets make sure thats what people remember about us. Support loud. Support hard. Keep it respectful.
