ADMIN0020 Version 0 Published June 2020. To outline the Gliding Australia’s policy framework for members, officials, coaches, parents and visitors in relation to Discrimination and Harassment.
Gliding Australia prohibits all forms of harassment (including sexual harassment) and discrimination and aims to provide a sport environment where all those involved in its activities are treated with dignity and respect, and without harassment or discrimination. It is Gliding Australia’s commitment to provide an environment which is free from harassment and abuse for everyone, which promotes respectful and positive behaviour and values. It is up to all its members and affiliates to provide and participate in a sporting environment free of discrimination and harassment. All members and affiliates shall abide by this Policy. All States and Territories have individual legislation regarding Anti-Discrimination and Bullying which must be complied with. This policy reflects the policy of the Gliding Australia but at all times, legislation prevails. It is incumbent on members to prevent racist, sexist, slanderous, defamatory, homophobic, or other remarks or behaviour that are not directed to any particular individual or member, but remain inappropriate for the sporting environment, nonetheless.
