Safeguarding Children & Young People

All children and young people who participate in footy have the right to be safe, feel safe and play safe.

Keeping children and young people safe is the number one priority we have as a community – and nothing is different at footy clubs.

Safeguarding Children & Young People

The AFL is committed to promoting and protecting the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people who participate in AFL Football at any level through activities, programs, services and/or use of facilities by fostering a culture where children and young people feel safe and welcome. 

AFL Policies & Procedures

Policies & procedures specific to the AFL are designed to support our continued efforts to maintain the safest possible environment for children and young people involved in our sport.

They are more than just documents, they are a call to action for everyone involved to uphold the highest standards of care, respect, and responsibility.
