As sailors progress through the pathway, we would like parents and family members to share their journey and we provide a number of opportunities.

Some of these roles are essential to the running of the program.  Plus we’ve also included opportunities for participation so you can experience sailing for yourselves.  So doing a twilight race, or learning to SUP, or sail a keelboat is just as important as helping in the Galley and running races.

Working With Children

If you have children participating in SoPYC training and racing, the Working with Children Check (WWC Check) is not required.  Otherwise, it is a compulsory screening strategy in Western Australia and the club.

The WWC Check aims to protect children by:

  • Deterring people from applying to work with children where they have a relevant charge or conviction on their criminal record that indicates they may harm a child;
  • Detecting new charges and convictions of those people who hold a current WWC Card and preventing them from continuing to engage in child-related work where their criminal record and behaviour indicates they may harm a child; and
  • Protecting children by creating awareness that child safety is a whole of community responsibility.

Assisting and observing how this process works is the best way. There are also a number of online and practical training opportunities.

In addition the coaches or SoPYC staff would be happy to give some basic familiarisation of practical skills required to handle a RIB for safety and support.
