Safety SMS – Member Statement Compliance – if you are an ASC Member and you intend to operate form Gawler, compliance is essential Recently reported that we had 144 Members who hadn’t signed off – currently about 80 Overriding excuses are, “didn’t know about it” or “oh yeah, just haven’t got around to it” Walking the talk – adopting safe operating procedures Event Safety Officer Common interest group events are welcome at Gawler – with consent from the ASC Safety must be #1 priority Expectation is that each event will have a nominated Event Safety Officer

Safety (cont) Walking the talk – adopting safe operating procedures Runway incursions Incident reporting has shown repeated issues with untimely runway incursions by taxiing aircraft Pilots call crossing runway, but are not always checking that it is clear before proceeding Aircraft on final approach Aircraft on take off roll Radio calls are just the start See – look and avoid Advice is one way – communication is a two way process

Member Protection Policy Insurance Currently our insurers have applied a “Molestation Exclusion Clause” – we are not covered for any liability associated with molestation of people under 18 years of age Cover to assist with legal costs is available provided we adopt certain practices to lift the exclusion Responsible club officers will need a National Police Check The above people will need to indicate to say they have received the Club’s policy and have understood it New members will be required to sign that they are aware of the policy The information will be made available to all members Work in progress, but let’s start now!!

Member Protection Policy (cont) Child safe environments It’s not just about compliance Our mindset can be that we do it to tick a box, or it can be that we are committed to looking after others Our philosophical approach will determine our operational approach to children It’s not all about you Learning about child protection is not accusing you of doing anything It’s not about accusing anyone of anything It’s about protecting those who are vulnerable That’s our kids! Members and visitors

Member Protection Policy (cont) Child safe environments What difference can I make? Simply caring and being committed Knowing what to do if something doesn’t seem right What do I do? I have a concern but haven’t heard or seen anything as yet? If someone has told me something? If I have seen something? A child tells me something?

Member Protection Policy (cont) Child safe environments If they see an issue, what stops people from doing something? It’s not my business…. It’s too late…. I don’t want to cause trouble…. The system won’t do anything about it anyway…. I don’t believe what I have been told....

ASC Communication Channels Legal situation The Club has a responsibility to communicate with its Members Each Member has a responsibility to be easily contactable by the Club Our official method of communication In the old days – Cloudbase Now – via ASC Announce The problems Some Members have unsubscribed Some members “junk” any communication from ASC Confusion about the purpose of ASC Members and ASC Announce Do what you like with ASC Members – any member can post information, but it should relate directly to the ASC It is essential that you receive and read communication from ASC Announce – only Club Officers have access A possible way forward yet to be considered by Committee Changing the name of ASC Annouce to Official ASC Post an explaining: The Club’s responsibility The Member's responsibility Do not “junk” official communication from the ASC
