At previous meetings of Surf Life Saving, reports of misbehaviour at Surf Carnivals have been noted with grave concern. The Australian Council has resolved that each Team Manager be notified by special notice of their obligations and responsibilities to their club, branch, state and to Surf Life Saving Australia.
It is an express condition of acceptance of club entries for the PDB Senior Championships @ Currumbin SLSC SLSC (March 8, 2024) that the club’s Team Manager signs this certificate, verifying that they have read and will do everything in their power to comply with this notice. Each club is now requested to ensure the following items and conditions are implemented:
1. Each club travelling to the PDB Senior Championships @ Currumbin SLSC SLSC (March 8, 2024) shall have a Team Manager duly appointed by the club in resolution or action.
2. The Team Manager shall be held responsible to the club / branch / state / SLSA (as applicable) for the conduct of all their team members in travelling to, during, and returning home from the PDB Senior Championships @ Currumbin SLSC SLSC (March 8, 2024)
3. Any group of two of more members who depart the main body of the team (for purposes of travel or any other reason), shall have a Sub-Manager appointed by the Team Manager for the duration of their departure.
4. Team Managers shall, at all times, exercise control over their teams and ensure member’s conduct and appearance does not have an adverse bearing upon the good name of their club nor the Association.
5. Special care is to be exercised at high density congregation points, especially air terminals and during the trip. Air Navigation orders lay down procedures in regards to intoxication, interference to air crews, disorderly or offensive behaviour, and any act that threatens the safety of the aircraft. Any person contravening this order is guilty of an offence.
6. Before departing your accommodation point (if applicable) – the Team Manager shall conduct an inspection of the rooms accompanied by the Manager, and preferably a senior member of the team. It shall be confirmed that no complaints are being made, nor will be made regarding the team’s conduct or conditions of accommodation fixtures.
7. A report shall be furnished to the club by the Team Manager immediately following the completion of the carnival (within 14 days) and report any misconduct or complaint.
8. Team Managers should be cautious of the exchange of team uniforms during or at the Carnival, as misreporting of incidents may occur.
9. Remember that the venue of the PDB Senior Championships is the traditional support base for local clubs and any misconduct will certainly be noticed and jeopardise future activities of those clubs. You can readily imagine the situation applied in reverse.
10. The Host Branch have been instructed to form a Judiciary Committee which will hold itself ready for a meeting in the event of any complaint. Such Committee shall have the power to also act at the time and shall have jurisdiction over any Lifesaver attending the carnival or associated carnivals held at that time.
11. Team Managers should wear club shirts sign written with “TEAM MANAGER”. I certify that I have read the special Notice to Team Managers (above) and am fully aware of the Association’s Code of Conduct for Members and Member Protection Policy.
