INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR

*INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR

Inappropriate behaviour covers numerous activities that occur on beaches. These include but are not limited to:

• Suspect paedophiles;
• Indecent exposure; and
• Public sexual activities.
• Suspected intoxication or drug use
  If anyone is subject to or involved in inappropriate behaviour towards lifesavers or members, Surfcom is to be notified immediately.
  

Any incident that is reported, alleged or observed, to have occurred involving “inappropriate sexual advances or behaviour” or “inappropriate adult sexual behaviours (sexual molestation of children)” must be handled expediently with sensitivity and discretion.

Under no circumstances should a patrol member support or accuse an individual or suspect regardless of the reporting circumstances.

The patrol member’s observation of the water should not be compromised in this situation.
