It is LAVic and Little Athletics Nunawading policy that ALL Centre and Club executive committee members, key officials and coaches who work with children or are engaged in volunteer roles involving children (under 18 years of age), including officiating and coaching are required to undergo a WWC Check. The WWC Check applicable in Victoria is the mandatory minimum standard for a range of child– related industries and sports associations, including Little Athletics, under the Victorian Working with Children Act 2005.

The WWC Check is designed to assist in protecting children from sexual or physical harm by ensuring that people who work with, or care for, them have their suitability to do so checked by a government body. As Little Athletics clubs and associations provide services and conduct activities for, and directed at children, which usually involves, or is likely to usually involve, regular direct contact with a child/athlete our Centre and Club officials will hold a WWC Check and a record will be held by the Centre Secretary in accordance with LAVic guidelines.
