34. SLSQ Leave/Restricted?
35. What does SLSQ Leave/Restricted mean?
Leave/Restricted status means that you will be unable to participate in any lifesaving activities, including patrols, training, and other club-related activities, until you have received a valid Blue Card and these details have been updated in Surfguard.
This can usually be rectified by undertaking one of the following steps:
- Supply your valid Blue/Exemption Card details to SLSQ for linking purposes, or
- Renew your Blue/Exemption Card and provide your account number and date of birth to SLSQ for linking purposes.
36. What happens if I have been conducting lifesaving activities whilst on SLSQ Leave/ Restricted?
Activities conducted by members on Leave/Restricted are not covered by SLSQ insurance policies. In the event of an injury, incident, or liability claim, you could be personally responsible for associated costs and legal repercussions.
Non-compliance with SLSQ restrictions could lead to legal liability if an incident occurs while performing unauthorised lifesaving duties. This may result in personal legal consequences and potential liability for the member or club.
Unauthorised participation could result in reputational harm to the individual, their club, and SLSQ. This may erode trust within the organisation and community and lead to strained relationships and scrutiny of club operations.
If you have been conducting lifesaving activities whilst on Leave/Restricted, then the SLSQ CEO may suspend your membership until you have provided a validated Blue Card.
