A breach is any action or inaction by any member of your organisation, including children and young people, that fails to comply with any part of your organisation’s child and youth risk management strategy. However, a breach that results in significant harm to a child or young person needs to be considered in terms of an allegation or suspicion of harm in the first instance. Should you receive a disclosure or wish to record a suspicion of harm make note of this:

What do I need to do?
Your organisation needs to develop clear policies and procedures on how breaches to the risk management strategy will be managed. A plan for managing breaches needs to outline the consequences for stakeholders if your policies and procedures are not followed.
Why do I need to do it?
A plan allows you to manage breaches in a fair and supportive manner. The plan should aim to focus on the process and the consequences within the processes of a breach.
How do I do it?
A template plan is available for download below to assist your club to identify relevant considerations and to develop and implement an effective plan for managing breaches.
Who does this concern?
Your Club should consider who will be involved in the development of this plan, and how your organisation’s procedures for handling a breach of your child and youth risk management strategy will be communicated.
