Child Safety and Working With Children Check
It is Gymnastics Victoria policy and a legal standard to sight a current, valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) or Victorian Institute of Teachers (VIT) card from all coaches, judges, officials, vendors and volunteers at all Gymnastics Victoria events.
At all Gymnastics Victoria events:
- All coaches, judges, officials, vendors, volunteers and anyone else who GV staff feel require a WWCC due to the nature of the work that they are undertaking for GV are required to present themselves to an authorised person with their current and valid WWCC or VIT card (and photo ID) and complete the sign in sheet per day of competition prior to access to the field of play;
- It is a requirement for coaches and judges to include their Technical Membership number when signing in;
- Coaches, judges, officials, vendors and volunteers must be easily identifiable on the field of play by means of either a wrist band or stamp to ensure they have presented their WWCC or VIT;
- WWCC and VIT cards must be presented visually. A number alone is not sufficient, however a clear photograph of the card (on a mobile phone or similar) will satisfy the requirement. Persons under 18 are not required to have a WWCC, however it is highly recommended; and
- Personnel required to present their WWCC are encouraged to take an image of the front and back of their card in case of misplaced/lost WWCC card.
Coaches, judges, officials, vendors and volunteers unable to provide a current and valid WWCC or VIT card at all GV Events will NOT be permitted access to the field of play or to continue in their role at the event, and will NOT be eligible to receive updating points or a judging honorarium.
Coaches and Judges must sign in with their current and valid WWCC or VIT card and their current Technical Membership number in order to receive updating points and payment (where required).
Where a person has not included this information on the sign in sheet, they will not receive updating points or payment.
