Special Resolution
\nSummary
\nIt is proposed to revise the Policies and Procedures on Membership to include a policy on which members are required to have a Working With Children check as a condition of their membership. This requires approval of a Special Resolution by the AGM.
\nBackground
\nChanges to the Working With Children Act effective August 1st, 2017 directly affected our club\u2019s operations. Under the Act, a person involved in yachting is considered to be engaging in child-related work and must apply for the WWC if they:
\n\uf0a7 work or volunteer in a role that brings them into direct contact with children under 18; and
\n\uf0a7 volunteer or do this work on a regular basis; and
\n\uf0a7 do not qualify for one of the exemptions in the legislation.
\nAll members over the age of 18 are required to hold a valid WWCC when \u201cworking with children\u201d. In addition to the Committee and staff and anyone assisting in training, this requirement includes any adult who has a designated role doing sailing or other duties or volunteering for an event where children may be present. This is a legal requirement, and supports the Club\u2019s commitment to child safety, to preventing child abuse, to identifying risks early, and removing and reducing these risks.
\nIn the interim we have been operating by ensuring that all adults either have WWCC or are exempt if they are doing duty or having a role in events. Non-compliant members have been directed not to communicate directly with children during the duty or event.
\nFor membership renewal and new member applications, it is proposed that having a WWC or legal exemption be a condition of membership for adult members who are expected to do sailing duties or who volunteer for events in a role where children may be present. This requirement will not include members who only windsurf or paddle board and do not volunteer for duty or for other events where children may be present, however over time we would like to move in the direction of all adult members having WWC
\nThe special resolution to be voted on is:
\nThe Elwood Sailing Club Membership Policies and Procedures are to be revised to include the following policy:
\nMembers who are expected or volunteer to participate in sailing duties, or who volunteer for a role in other events where children may be present, or who nominate for General Committee or other positions within the club are required to have a current WWC if not legally exempt. Evidence of the WWC or WWC application or legal exemption will be required for all such adults applying for membership renewal or for new membership. For membership renewals a signed commitment to apply and provide details of the WWC application within 4 weeks of the membership application will be acceptable.<\/p>\n

Thanks & Regards
\nJoseph Picone
\nElwood Sailing Club Commodore<\/p>\n
