Waka Ama NZ would like to share our updated Child Safeguarding and Protection Policy. Additionally, we have created a template for clubs/regions to create their own Child Safeguarding and Protection Policy. This template is reflective of our Waka Ama NZ Policy and we encourage all clubs and regions to utilise and implement this template. The information within this template acts as a guide only - we recommend you amend this template accordingly to your club/region.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa - thank you all for your time, dedication and hard work for your club, paddlers and whānau for the 2025 Waka Ama National Sprint Championships. Without the paddlers, coaches, managers, parents, supporters, sponsors, drivers and volunteers, the event would not have been able to happen! Our sport is lucky to have so many passionate and giving people involved that helped to make last weeks event the biggest yet! We are keen for your feedback on the National Sprints, please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
