LSV COMMS 13 SURF (13 7873)

LSV COMMS WILL BE MANNED (during Patrol Season period)

State Emergency Management Officer (SEMO) will notify Director of Lifesaving Services

SEMO to SMS all Regional Officers (RO’s) and advise them to ensure Clubs/ Services in their Region are aware of increased fire danger/heatwave conditions

RO’s to ensure that Club’s / Services: On Patrol Days will have sufficient manpower and resources. On non Patrol Days, consideration for operating extra lifesaving

services for the Public. Advise LSV Comms at Sign On / Sign Off. Consider possible power outages and road closures

which may effect delivery of lifesaving services. Clubs with DHS Wildfire Kits to ensure Patrol Captain

knows their purpose and can access if required.

During Code Red (Catastrophic) Days, Clubs in particular those listed below should advise their members to leave the night before if they believe that their location

is unsafe or if there are fire threats to their area.

If they choose to remain in the area to offer a lifesaving service, then they MUST have easy and ready access to a designated Neighbourhood Safer Place, which is in their immediate area.

If a fire threat occurs when the beach is patrolled, the Patrol Captain / Senior Lifeguard

should consider closing the Beach (and advise the Public if doing so) and advise members and the public of the location of the Neighbourhood Safer Place.

Clubs must pre-warn LSV Comms if there will be no or limited

lifesaving services at these locations, or to update them on events.

The State Government has listed 52 towns most at risk from wildfire and those above are ones that include LSV services. At this stage Council have only had to develop ‘Township Protection Plans’ and Neighbourhood Safer Places for the 52 at risk towns, which is why only those LSV services listed above are included.

Leadership Development Resources

LSV’s Membership & Leadership Development Department has a range of resources available to support member and youth development. The following resources are available on our website at: www.lifesavingvictoria.com.au/leadershipdevelopment

◊ Membership & Leadership Development Handbook Each year, the M&LD Handbook is updated and provides a ‘one stop shop’ for everything youth related for the current season.

◊ Life Saving Victoria Pathways The Life Saving Victoria Pathways guide has been developed to assist and support LSV members to choose their development and training path ways at the club, state and national level. The document contains useful information on suggested learning pathways. These pathways are not intended to be compulsory, but to be used as a guide for members as they progress through the different aspects of lifesaving in Victoria.

◊ Recruitment & Retention Guide The Recruitment and Retention Guide is a resource developed for clubs to assist in boosting Membership numbers through the recruitment of new members. The guide and the resources linked throughout the document, can be found below.

◊ YIPs Resources YIPs is a member retention program used to reward club members in the 14-17 year age group for the fantastic work they do around their club. A YIPs Handbook, entry level resources and bronze/silver/gold rewards are available to order for your YIPs participants.

Nipper Resources

LSV’s Membership & Leadership Development Department has a range of resources available to support Nipper program development. The following resources are available on our website at:www.lifesavingvictoria.com.au/nippersresources

◊ Nipper Planning Guide The Nippers Planning Guide takes into account the diversity of Surf Education programs across Victoria, and includes information relating to structuring a nippers program, coordinating and managing a nipper’s workforce, tips for getting volunteers involved and considerations for programming the sessions. In addition to this, the guide is supplemented with practical resources as listed below. This guide is intended to be a complementary resource to the SLSA Junior Development Resource (JDR).

◊ Junior Evaluations and Surf Education Requirements 2015/16

◊ Risk Assessment For all aquatic activities, a pre-activity risk check should be conducted by the Water Safety Supervisor in conjunction with the Patrol Captain or Lifeguard. Life Saving Victoria recommends that all clubs keep a conditions folder that contains all risk assessment documentation for a minimum of five years. This also includes risk assessments that are completed using the Water Safety Risk Mobile App. These Assessments must be emailed to the relevant person or club and printed out at the completion of the session.

◊ Junior Development Resource Kit The Junior Development Resource Kit contains all the lesson plans and instructions for Age Managers on how to run your Nippers sessions. To purchase a set for your club please download the following form and return to the Membership & Leadership Development department.

◊ Age Manager Plastic Cards The Age Manager Plastic cards consist of 10 double sided plastic cards on a lanyard with whistle designed to assist Age Manager’s on the beach with practical lifesaving information. To purchase sets of these cards please download the following form and return to the Membership & Leadership Development Department.

◊ Parent Engagement Presentation The Parent Engagement Presentation is a template clubs are encouraged to use to inform and educate Nipper Parents, with specific information on the Surf Education Program as well as volunteering opportunities available within the Club. For example being an: Age Manager, Official, Parent Helper and the possibility of them acquiring their Bronze Medallion. ◊ Age Managers Certification Form

Feel free to download the following resources and forward onto your members.

◊ Junior Parent Handbook

Youth Involvement Program (YIPs)

Retention of members aged 14-17 years in lifesaving seems to be a difficult task for Life Saving Clubs across Victoria. The Youth Involvement Program (YIPs) aims to overcome this retention issue and help develop and engage our young members.

YIPs was originally designed by the Anglesea Surf Lifesaving Club in 2002. After great success the program has been adopted by Life Saving Victoria and many other clubs across Australia.

Over the past season we have seen hundreds of Victoria’s youth start their involvement in YIPs. In simple terms the YIPs program will reward young members for all the good work they do at your club. Participants can get points for patrols, water safety, organising club functions, mentoring, training and assessing just to name a few areas.

Once enrolled, participants can make their way through the bronze, silver and gold levels of the program. Each level requires the participants to achieve a basic number of points and then they will be rewarded with achieving the level. Participants will be rewarded for their involvement in the following activities:

• Patrolling• Competition• Club Activities or Fundraisers• Coaching & Officiating• Mentoring & Assisting with Junior Programs

Other activities associated with your club can be used to gather points. The program’s flexibility allows for YIPs Coordinators to create points opportunities to all involved specific to their strengths and skills.

YIPs Handbook

The YIPs Handbook outlines all of the program requirements and will assist clubs in setting up YIPs for their members.This guide outlines:

• A step by step process of setting up YIPs• Requirements for running the program• Job descriptions for program Mentors• Examples of letters, articles and other promotional materials • Registration and ordering forms

Female Leadership Network

With female representation in Victoria, now over 50% and climbing, females are an integral part of the past, present and future of the lifesaving movement. We celebrate the many roles and facets that females contribute, pay tribute to the exceptional role of our female volunteers and acknowledge the opportunity that lifesaving brings for females to be active, participate, develop and lead.

This initiative is something the organisation deems as extremely important part of the future development of our female members and staff. This is another step forward for the lifesaving movement in ensuring that females have the skills, confidence and support to fulfil their future lifesaving and professional ambitions. Moreover to share experiences, inspire and be inspired.

The LSV Female Leadership Network (FLN) is open to all Females 18+ within the movement including staff and volunteers members from all roles and facets that have a genuine interest in networking, personal growth and professional development.

• Vision: Opportunities to share experiences, inspire and be inspired• Brand: Authentic, Simple, Fresh & Valuable

Working With Children Checks

Why is keeping children safe so important?

Life Saving Victoria is committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of all its members and is dedicated to providing a best practise approach to ensure a safe environment for those participating in lifesaving activities.

Life Saving Victoria is a unique organisation that has multiple purposes including community service, sporting, education and leadership opportunities and programs. Each of these individual aspects inter-relate with each other. It is due to the multifaceted nature of Life Saving Victoria, that members 18 years of age and over interact with children across a broad spectrum of activities, that this policy must be broadly applied.

As such, any person 18 years and over, in a voluntary or salaried position, who works with person’s under 18 years of age in any capacity is required to have a valid Working with Children Check registered to Life Saving Victoria and their Life Saving Club. The Department of Justice WWC Check website defines the requirement as “Contact that is not incidental to but normally part of providing a service or activity for children” (viewed 1 December 2013, www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au)

The following matrix illustrates the nature whereby Members 18 years and over require a WWC Check.

Categories Working With Children Check Required by LSVActive (Patrolling Members) YesTrainers (qualified or unqualified) & Camp Leaders

Yes

Nipper Programs/Carnivals (qualified or unqualified eg. Officials, Age Managers, Team Managers & Assistants)

Yes

Associate Members Is required only if and when the member falls under the WWC Check website definition as above.

Life Members Is required only if and when the member falls under the WWC Check website definition as above.

Clarification regarding persons exempt under the Act - Police Officers and VIT registered teachers

The Working with Children Act 2005 provides for exemptions to Police Officers and VIT registered teachers. Life Saving Victoria requires these members to have a WWC Check - despite their exemption under the Act.

Why - Without undertaking a WWC Check there is no link between your profession as a teacher, Department of Justice employee and any volunteer organisation in which you participate. If you breach any laws (relevant to this check e.g. sexual misconduct) in the capacity of a teacher or Police Officer, Life Saving Victoria will have no way of being informed of such charges.

The WWC Check creates that vital link to ensure any alleged breaches can be picked up by the Department of Justice who then reviews and if deemed appropriate informs all relevant voluntary organisations.

A WWC Check will consider offences of a sexual, violent and drug related nature. The check includes:

• National criminal record check for relevant convictions, findings of guilt and relevant pending charges• A review of relevant findings from prescribed professional disciplinary bodies (currently only the Victorian Institute of Teaching)

8988

There is no difference between a volunteer and employee check except the cost. A ‘volunteer’ WWC Check is free however an ‘employee’ WWC Check requires payment.

Please note: a Volunteer WWC Check cannot be used for employment purposes. However you can add volunteer organisations to an Employee WWC Check.

If my lifesaving activities involve my own child, why can’t I be exempt?

The legislation does provide certain exemptions from obtaining the check. However given the broad nature of Life Saving Victoria’s activities, it would be almost impossible to apply the exemptions.

Our clubs provide a broad range of activities from patrolling to competition. Many of these activities involve the same members who may be exempt from some activities but not others. For example a mother could be her child’s Age Manager (an activity directly involving her as a parent) but also a patrol captain (an activity where her child is not involved). Therefore to ensure our members are operating within the legal framework, it is compulsory that all members 18 years and older that fall under the definition of the WWC Check website (as above) complete a WWC Check.

All members who wish to compete at any SLSA competition must be registered, proficient and carry out required patrol duties, in accordance with the proficiency and patrol hour requirements detailed in this policy.

This policy covers all SLSA competition, including, but not limited to a competition which is referred to as a carnival, display, interclub, or championship, and irrespective of when such a competition is held.

Where the policy specifically refers to a “Championship” competition, it includes Regional, Branch, State and Australian Championships for all competition including Open, Age, Masters, Pool, IRB, Endurance and all other competitions deemed to be a Regional, Branch, State or Australian championship. It also includes ILS and ILS member country Championships.

ELIGIBILITY TO COMPETETo be eligible to compete in any SLSA competition or to receive endorsement to enter ILS or ILS member competition, a SLSA member must:

• Be a registered and current financial member of SLSA.• Be the holder of the appropriate SLSA award relevant to the age category as detailed in the latest version of the Surf Sports Manual or hold the equivalent overseas ILS member country award.• Is SLSA proficient as prescribed for the relevant SLSA Award required for competition eligibility.• Be eligible under the necessary age category.• In relation to championship competition, have met their patrol commitments as detailed in this policy and met all their Club, Branch and State Centre requirements.

NOTE: This policy refers to various positions held within SLS such as Director of Lifesaving, Director of Surf Sports etc.

It is recognised that some Clubs, Branches and States (and in some cases at a National level), may use a different term to describe the principal office bearer responsible for Lifesaving or Surf Sports within that Club, Branch, State or at a National level e.g. Chair of the Lifesaving Committee, Surf Sports Manager etc.

Where the term Director of Lifesaving, Director of Surf Sports etc. is used, it refers to the principal person responsible for Lifesaving or Surf Sports as applicable.

3.5 The minimum patrol hour requirement for a new member, a member rejoining a club (was not a member of SLSA between 1 October to 30 September of the previous season), or a member returning after a leave of absence must not be less than 4 hours before the close of entries for the competition the member wishes to enter.

NOTE: For a leave of absence to be recognised in relation to this policy, it must be constituted by the member’s club, and the individuals who meet the leave of absence criteria should be noted in club minutes and endorsed by the respective Branch/State centre by 31 December each year.

3.6 SLSA reserves the right to select members from some or all entries, and to ask the respective State Centre to examine the eligibility of these members.

3.7 Where clubs consider their members are disadvantaged by the minimum patrol requirements in this policy, they may make an application for a variation to the patrol hour requirement through their respective Branch and/or State Centre. This application must be on an annual basis.

3.8 Hours shall only be calculated from the following: a) Rostered patrols (as detailed in state and territory lifesaving agreements); b) Substitute patrols (hours will be credited to the member who has actually undertook the patrol - NOT the member for whom the substitution was done); c) Make up patrols for approved absences as determined by the Club to cover illness, study, competition etc.; d) Voluntary patrols for SLSA approved Support Operations e.g. Helicopter, Jet Rescue Boats, Offshore Rescue Boats, Rescue Water Craft, SurfCom Communication Centres; e) Duty Officers from the time that they are tasked to an incident and when at the scene of an incident for which they have been tasked, and which they are actively monitoring/supervising. f) Water Safety for Junior Activities (not including Surf Sports training); g) Water Safety at both open/senior and junior SLS surf sport carnivals; NOTE: Personal hours for water safety (open/senior and junior carnivals) can only be counted if the member is signed on and completes rostered water safety activities. h) State sanctioned special events and commercial water safety (fee for service): for sanctioned events (e.g. ocean swims and paddle races) and water safety provided under a commercial agreement (including donations to a club or service) that have the endorsement of State/Territory Director of Lifesaving.

Exclusions: Hours cannot be calculated from: i) Penalty patrol hours j) Personal Coaching: refers to instances where a coach (paid or unpaid) provides specific tuition in aquatic skills to individual members or a select group of members; k) Training squads (Surf Sports or other): refers to a group of selected members who are being trained by a coach (paid or unpaid). l) State sanctioned special events and commercial water safety (fee for service): for sanctioned events (e.g. ocean swims and paddle races) and water safety provided under a commercial agreement where individual member(s) receives remuneration. m) Surf Sport Official roles e.g. sectional referee, judging in a boat/ elevated platform n) Members employed as lifeguards, helicopter crew or beach inspectors: are not exempt from fulfilling personal voluntary patrol hour obligations.

3.9 All patrol hours must be recorded in the patrol or service logbook and entered in SurfGuard.

NOTE: Clubs may record directly into SurfGuard with the permission of the relevant State.

3.10 A member will be credited with and recognised for all beach patrol hours completed irrespective of where those hours were completed. The practical aspect of this is that a member may patrol for one SLSA club and compete for a different SLSA club. Providing that they are not in breach of their financial and club obligations, or patrol hour requirements, at either club, they will be eligible to compete.

3.11 Any member who is a member of more than one SLSA club shall be entitled to compete in intra club events of all such clubs of which they are a member.

Default hours3.12 A member’s patrol default hours and/or missed patrols will be dealt with entirely by the member’s Club(s) - when a person is a member of more than one Club.If the member’s Club believes that the member has fulfilled his/her patrol obligations, then, subject to the minimum number of patrol hours being completed (as per 3.4 Table 1 or 3.5), and all other requirements as set out in this policy being met for the member’s Club(s), then that member will be able to compete.

108 109

3.13 SLSA has provided the following guidelines in relation to default hours. a) Default hours are recorded when a person who is rostered to a patrol is absent from that patrol without club approval or has not appointed a substitute member. b) If the member arranges a substitute for a patrol, they are not in default if the member who accepted the substitute is absent from the patrol. The person who accepted the substitution is the defaulting member. c) A substitute is another qualified proficient member. NOTE: It is a requirement that the member performing the substitute has, at least, the same minimum qualifications of the person for whom the substitute has been arranged. This will ensure that the minimum patrol strength and qualifications are retained on patrol. e.g., a Bronze award member who requires the substitute must have at least a Bronze award member; similarly, a qualified patrol captain must have at least a member with a patrol captain’s qualification.

d) Penalty patrols are excluded from recovering default hours. e) Make up hours are permitted to recover default hours. f) Competitors must not be in default of patrol hour obligations (as determined by their club) at the closing date of entries.
