Our commitment to child safety
Surf Life Saving's Safeguarding Children and Young People Program gives clubs the policies, procedures, resources and education they need to keep children safe.
At Narooma SLSC, everyone who works with Nippers and young members follows these policies, and holds a valid Working with Children Check where required.
