Basketball NSW has an extensive Resource Directory. We direct your attention in particular to the following Basketball NSW Policies and Procedures:
Basketball NSW is extremely committed to the ongoing safety of all of its participants – in particular, our junior participants.
As a result, BNSW is asking for any inappropriate conduct, including any physical, verbal, & emotional abuse and sexual misconduct, to be reported to the relevant government agency or to Basketball NSW for further investigation and follow-up. Whilst BNSW fully understands that this may be a very sensitive topic, BNSW urges each parent and participant to consider taking these steps to ensure the ongoing safety of all children within our sport.
Any information that is supplied will be kept strictly confidential – the only exception to this will be if BNSW is obliged by law, as a mandatory reporter, to pass this information on to relevant state authority, including NSW Police, FACS, JIRT or the Office of the Children’s Guardian.
If any parents or children have relevant information regarding this alleged conduct, please email the information and any supporting material to [email protected]. Each report will be examined, and action will be taken where appropriate or necessary to protect our junior members. Please note that action may also be taken against any person who makes a deliberately misleading or vexatious complaint to Basketball NSW.
