Member Protection Policy

CAMS is committed to the requirements for the protection of the health, safety and well being of all members of CAMS, including all those who participate in the activities of CAMS, its affiliated clubs, competitors, officials, volunteers, employees, organisers and spectators. The establishment of the CAMS Member Protection Policy is an important step in ensuring our members participate in a safe environment free of harassment, and providing a mechanism for complaint resolution and guidelines for child protection. CAMS is committed to ensuring that everyone associated with the organisation complies with the policy.

This Member Protection Policy aims to ensure our core values, good reputation and positive behaviours and attitudes are maintained. It assists us in ensuring that every person involved in our sport is treated with respect and dignity, and is safe and protected from abuse. This policy also ensures that everyone involved in our sport is aware of his or her legal and ethical rights and responsibilities. The policy attachments provide the procedures that support our commitment to eliminating discrimination, harassment, child abuse, bullying and other forms of inappropriate behaviour from our sport. As part of this commitment, CAMS will take disciplinary action against any person or organisation bound by this policy if they breach it.

This policy has been adopted by the Board of CAMS on 2 December 2009 pursuant to clause 73 of the CAMS Constitution. The policy starts on 3 December 2009 and will operate until replaced. This policy and/or its attachments may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Board of CAMS.
