The Queensland Weightlifting Association (QWA) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of Children in Weightlifting by providing a safe and inclusive environment and by ensuring that everyone involved in Weightlifting is educated and informed of their responsibilities to protect and look after Children.

All Children have the right to feel safe and protected from all forms of abuse, harm, and neglect. Children have the right to take part in sport in a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment.

QWA aims to create and maintain an inclusive, child-safe environment that is understood, endorsed, implemented, and adhered to by everyone involved in Weightlifting.

This Policy is part of QWA’s proactive and preventative approach to upholding its commitment to the safety, wellbeing, participation and empowerment of all Children who access Weightlifting.
