National Integrity Framework
The National Integrity Framework is a set of rules that all members of our sport need to follow when it comes to their behaviour and conduct in swimming, including obligations to report misconduct. Those rules are contained in the following policies:
1. Safeguarding Children & Young People Policy
2. Member Protection Policy
3. Improper Use of Drugs and Medicine Policy
4. Competition Manipulation & Sports Gambling Policy
5. Complaints, Disputes & Discipline Policy (CDDP)
6. Code of Conduct.
The National Integrity Framework policies are on the Swimming Australia website. These policies will be in force from 1 January 2024.
Why is this important?
The National Integrity Framework is important because it allows complaints to be made either to Sport Integrity Australia (an independent government body) or to the Swimming Australia integrity team. The type of complaint will determine where the complaint should go:
Sport Integrity Australia:
- Safeguarding including abuse (sexual, emotional, physical, neglect, exposure to family and domestic violence)
- Member protection where complaints are based on characteristics including race, disability, sex, religion or age.
Contact Sports Integrity Australia via their website or phone 1800 161 361.
Swimming Australia:
- Member protection where complaints refer to abuse, bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, victimisation, and vilification.
- Improper use of drugs and medicine.
- Competition Manipulation and Sport Gambling.
- Breach of Code of conduct where complaints refer to role model behaviours for example use of social media, responsible use of alcohol.
