At Southern Districts Basketball Association Limited (SDBAL), the safety, wellbeing and dignity of every child and young person is our top priority. This page introduces our Child Safety Framework – policies and practices that ensure all players, volunteers, staff and families feel safe, supported and always respected.
Our approach is built on a strong commitment to a safe, inclusive and transparent environment. We achieve this by applying best practice standards, clear codes of conduct, effective communication and supervision.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to enjoy basketball in a culture grounded in trust, fairness, respect and care. This page outlines the steps we take to uphold and protect those values across our club.
