WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FOR BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS

Helmet Waiver – The Cubby Toy Library (Shepparton)

The Cubby Toy Library ("Provider") offers bicycles and scooters to subscribers ("the Service"). By using the Service, you acknowledge that bicycle and scooter use ("the Activity") involves risks, including injury or death to any child under your care ("Your Child").

The Provider does not supply helmets or protective gear. You are solely responsible for ensuring Your Child wears a helmet and appropriate clothing during the Activity. Participation is at your own risk, and you accept full responsibility for supervising Your Child and any resulting injury, damage, or loss.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, you (on your own behalf and on behalf of Your Child) release and indemnify the Provider and its staff, agents, and contractors (“Indemnified Persons”) from all claims, liabilities, or damages arising from the Service or the Activity.

You agree the Provider:
(a) is not liable for any injury, death, or property damage suffered by you, Your Child, or any related person due to participation in the Activity; and
(b) is not responsible for any loss or damage to property belonging to you, Your Child, or any related person.

The Provider is also not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including but not limited to loss of profits, opportunity, goodwill, or reputation.

Code of Conduct of Application

Child Safety Code of Conduct
Applicable to all members, volunteers, and visitors

All personnel are required to observe child-safe principles and uphold appropriate standards of behaviour toward, and in the presence of children.

This includes the following expectations:

Commitment to Child Safety

All individuals are responsible for supporting the safety, wellbeing, participation, and empowerment of children by:

Adhering to the organization's Child Safe Policy and Statement of Commitment to Child Safety at all times
Taking all reasonable steps to protect children from harm or abuse
Treating all children with respect, regardless of background or ability
Listening to and responding to children’s views and concerns—especially if they raise safety issues or disclose abuse
Promoting the cultural safety, inclusion, and empowerment of children from diverse backgrounds by maintaining zero tolerance for discrimination
Supporting the safety and inclusion of children with disabilities (e.g., during personal care)
Ensuring, wherever practicable, that adults are not alone with a child
Promptly reporting any allegations or concerns regarding child abuse to the designated Child Safety Officer or organizational leadership, and ensuring appropriate authorities (police or child protection) are notified where required
Taking immediate action to protect children if an allegation of abuse is made

Unacceptable Behaviour

Members, volunteers, and visitors must not:

Form ‘special’ relationships with children that may be perceived as favoritism (e.g., gift-giving or special treatment)
Display behaviours that could be construed as unnecessarily physical (e.g., inappropriate lap-sitting — note: some contexts like reading to a young child in a public area may be appropriate)
Put children at risk of harm (e.g locking doors while alone with a child)
Discuss mature or adult topics in the presence of children (e.g personal social activities)
Use inappropriate or offensive language in the presence of children
Express personal views on culture, race, gender, or sexuality in front of children
Discriminate against any child based on their culture, race, ethnicity, gender, or ability
Have online contact with a child or their family unless it is necessary for organizational purposes (e.g distributing newsletters)
Ignore or fail to report suspected or disclosed child abuse

Reporting and Responsibility

By following this Code of Conduct, you acknowledge your obligation to report any breaches of these standards to the designated Child Safety Manager or leadership team.

If you believe a child is in immediate danger, call 000.

Acknowledgment
I agree to adhere to this Code of Conduct and uphold the principles of child safety at all times.
