PRIVACY and POLICY STATEMENT
We respect and protect the privacy of our users. This privacy policy tells you how we collect and use information.
BEING A PURE PERFORMANCE ORGANISATION
NSW Handball Athletes are required to abide by anti-dopy regulations. Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) promotes the concept of Pure Performance. ASADA’s role is to preserve and protect sport’s values for all Australians.
BEING A CHILD SAFE ORGANISATION
The Working with Children Check is only one small component of ensuring children are safe in your environment. While a criminal record check can be an important tool in an organisation’s approach to being ‘child safe’, they can’t identify people who have not previously been caught or are yet to offend. Good child safe policies and practices are the best way to reduce potential environmental risks and keep kids safer and implementing effective child safe policies and practices is the best way for an organisation to protect the children they are involved with.
