Supporting safer, stronger sporting environments

Creating safe and welcoming environments for children and young people is a shared responsibility across community sport.

Level Up is Valley Sport’s child safety support program, designed to help clubs understand their obligations, build confidence and embed best practice child safe standards into everyday operations.

What Is Level Up?

Level Up is a simple, step-by-step program that supports clubs to improve their child safety practices.

It provides practical tools, resources and guidance to help your club meet requirements while creating a safe, inclusive and positive environment for all participants.

How Level Up Helps Your Club

Level Up breaks child safety down into manageable steps, helping clubs:

  • Understand their child safety responsibilities
  • Develop and implement required policies
  • Build a culture of safety, inclusion and respect
  • Strengthen governance and compliance practices
  • Support volunteers with clear guidance and tools

What’s Included

    Self-paced modules that guide clubs through key child safety requirements, with clear explanations and practical examples.

Why It Matters

  • Families have confidence in your club
  • Volunteers understand their roles and responsibilities
  • Clubs reduce risk and strengthen governance
