Club Responsibilities
Clubs are responsible for ensuring that individuals in child-related positions:
- Hold a valid and current WWCC where required by law
- Prior to commencing duties WWCC is validated by the club
- Comply with all safeguarding and child safe requirements
Clubs should maintain appropriate records and undertake regular checks to ensure compliance.
