In an age of heightened awareness of the need for organisations to prioritise the safety of children above all else, your club has made great progress in its level of compliance with Rotary Youth Policies, Every Active Member now has a valid Victorian Working With Children Check, which is a mandatory requirement for membership, and almost all have completed a Rotary Volunteer Information and Declaration.
There has been some doubt until now about whether the Declaration Form is required for every member, particularly if they are not in a role that usually brings them into direct contact with minors. District 9800 Insurance Office Mark Perree has written to all clubs to explain why all members are now being asked to complete this declaration. Click on this link to read Marks' letter.
If you are unsure as to whether you have completed a Declaration, please check with Club Protection Officer Richard Blakeman. You can download a Declaration form by clicking on this link. Please first read the Rotary Code of Conduct, then complete your declaration and send it to Richard who will do the rest. In your form please provide three referees, one of whom may be a Rotarian.
