Participating Schools, and delivering organisations, must ensure that Sporting Schools sessions are delivered safely, supervision ratios are appropriate, and ‘duty of care’ responsibilities applied.
The Session Supervisor needs to provide active supervision for sport packages under the Program in addition to the coach, encouraging maximum participation, supporting behaviour management and ensuring Playing for Life principles are applied.

Permission notes
Duty of care and insurance requirements are the responsibility of each school and so schools may therefore use their own participation permission note.
Schools that take part in Sporting Schools evaluation or promotional activities may be required to circulate Sporting Schools consent forms which will be provided.
It is important to recognise the form constitutes an agreement between parents and the school and is not an agreement between parents or a school and the Australian Sports Commission. For this reason, there should not be an Australian Sports Commission logo on the form.
Can children from another school participate in our Sporting Schools program?
Schools may provide permission for any children that are not enrolled at their school to participate in their Sporting Schools programs.
Registered schools that receive funding to run Sporting Schools programs accept responsibility for all aspects of Sporting Schools at their school. The school is required to ensure they provide suitable supervision, comply with their appropriate policies, and has appropriate insurances in place.
