Child Safety
The MWBL is committed to governance, compliance and education around the Child Safety Act. We want to create leaders in our junior baseball community, to give our young players the tools to succeed on and off the field.
Child safety is not an add-on or one-off exercise. It is a legal requirement that our clubs and community members need to be compliant with. Having policies and procedures in place is not enough. It’s about creating a culture and environment within sport that is supportive and protective of children.
