KLAC Policies and Procedures
In line with our Constitution, Ku-ring-gai Little Athletics Centre (KLAC) is committed to aligning with all policies and guidelines set forth by Little Athletics NSW (LANSW). We strive to ensure our operations, programs, and conduct adhere to the highest standards of safety, integrity, and professionalism as outlined in their comprehensive policies.
KLAC is dedicated to maintaining a safe, respectful, and compliant environment for all members in accordance with LANSW policies, procedures and relevant legislation that can be found on the LANSW Information Hub HERE
Parent Participation Policy
Ku-ring-gai Little Athletics Centre (KLAC) is a volunteer-run community athletics centre built on the values of family, fun, friendship, and fitness. It exists because families give their time to make Saturday mornings work for every child at the centre. Parent participation is a condition of membership to ensure Saturday’s operational load is distributed equitably across all families. This policy sets out the parent participation requirement for the 2026/27 season. It explains what families are agreeing to at registration, why participation is required, exemptions and what happens if a family is unable to fulfil their commitment.

KLAC is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of all children and young people involved in our programs. In line with the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012 and the Child Protection (Working with Children) Regulation 2013, all Committee members, Age Managers, and Coaches over 18 are required to hold a current and valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).We verify these checks through the NSW Office of Children’s Guardian, and further information on this process is available at https://ocg.nsw.gov.au.
Parents are exempt when spectating or assisting their children behind the scenes, including at association carnivals. Additionally, we ensure that all officials at LANSW events, such as Zone and Region Championships, have current WWCCs as required by LANSW policies.

Cameras and recording devices at KLAC events
To help keep every athlete safe and respected at our events, parents and guardians are welcome to photograph or film their own child, but filming other children needs the prior approval of a parent or guardian. No device may be used in change rooms, showers or toilets, or near them. Officials, coaches and committee members must not record children on a personal device without the club's prior written authorisation, and please don't post or share footage of other people's children without their parent or guardian's written consent.
This guidance covers all devices that can capture images, video or sound, including cameras, smartphones, smartwatches, drones and body-worn cameras. If you're uncomfortable about filming you see, or you don't want your child filmed, please speak to a club official or one of our Member Protection Information Officers. If a child is at immediate risk of harm, call 000.
