Coast Basketball is committed to providing a safe, supportive environment for all tamariki. Every coach and volunteer has a responsibility to uphold these standards.

Key principles

• The safety and wellbeing of children is always the first priority
• All coaches must have a current Police Vetting clearance
• Never be alone with a child in an unsupervised setting
• Maintain appropriate physical and emotional boundaries at all times
• No photography or videography of players without explicit parental consent
• Any concerns must be reported immediately to the Operations Manager

Reporting a concern

If you have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of a child, report it immediately to the Operations Manager at naomi@hibiscuscoast.basketball or call directly. Do not investigate concerns yourself.
