Amateur AFL football clubs face the significant challenge of navigating the complexities of child safety and safeguarding responsibilities. Adhering to the Victorian Child Safe Standards can be daunting, with clubs often lacking the resources or knowledge to ensure they fully comply, leaving them vulnerable to risks and legal repercussions.

Without a clear, structured approach to managing these critical responsibilities, clubs not only jeopardise the safety and wellbeing of their young members but also risk damaging their reputation and trust within the community. The stakes are high, with potential legal, ethical, and operational implications looming over clubs that fail to meet the necessary standards.
