Anyone visiting Bunnings Mentone on Saturday may have

seen a display by students of the Little Jetnm Robotics team
from Sandringham Secondary College. They were the winners
of a national robotics competition and are now fund-raising to
get themselves to Denmark in May to represent Australia. The
teacher in attendance said that they had already raised half of
the required $45,000 for the trip. We have committed to make
a donation and have also applied for a matching District grant.

Ken Mirams
Youth Protection & Compliance Officer

Thirty-nine members, partners and guests attended the

Beaumaris Rotary Youth Protection training seminar on
Thursday evening.
Participants were updated on the new Victorian Legisla-
tion and the subsequent District 9810 policy, Code of
Conduct, reporting and Insurance requirements relating to
programs that involve Youth.
A quiz using practical examples and a discussion on the
content concluded the program
The key take aways from the session were:
1) The requirement that any Rotarian or partner who
directly participates in a Youth program (<18yrs
old) must have a current Working with Children
Card.
2) A new Youth program must go through the follow-
ing stages before the event is held

A risk assessment is done and submitted to District
Compliance and Insurance Officers

The Board must record its approval of the project

All participants must have a WWC card and their
attendance at the event recorded and kept
3) Reporting any incident and subsequent investiga-
tion must follow certain guidelines

An incident report should be completed collecting
as many facts as possible
