Protecting our Members

The Member Protection Framework provided by Football Australia assists Blackheath Football Club (BFC) in ensuring that every person is treated with respect and dignity, and is kept safe and protected from abuse, bullying and harassment and discrimination.

If you have any cause for concern about behaviour you’ve witnessed or been affected by, please contact Melissa Collins on mgacollins@gmail.com who will assist you as our Member Protection Information Officer.

If you’re a volunteer coach or manager this 2023 season, please send your WWCC number to Melissa. 

If you haven’t already obtained one, please follow this link: Apply for a Working with Children Check | Service NSW

This is an essential part of BFC’s proactive and preventative approach to tackling inappropriate behaviour and ensuring that all players, referees, coaches and parents enjoy the football season.
