Technology Project - Progress Update
As outlined in previous Affiliate News, the process to select a MyNetball alternative is moving along well. The working group is continuing with the robust testing and review of both WSA and PlayHQ platforms.
We have almost closed off with WSA, they continue to update us with the progress of developments. The testing group this month have spent hours playing in the the PlayHq Sandpit, a test environment where we have been able to replicate registrations and competitions setup. We presented PlayHQ to the Community Group late last month and are currently compiling comments, questions and concerns. We have open and transparent discussions from both sides and allow everyone involved to provide feedback . Ultimately this feedback is essential in ensuring the platform we ultimately choose is one that will be more useful for our entire netball community.
We continue to work our way through the process and we’ll take the necessary time to ensure the right decision is made, ahead of the 2022 changeover. We will continue to update you of the progress, in the meantime, should you have any questions please contact a member of the Affiliate Services team.
Child Safety in Netball - Tip of the Month
Associations/Leagues and Clubs have a responsibility to keeping our children safe by implementing the Child Safe Standards. In the Our Safety Counts report it was stated “Adults paying attention when a child or young person raised a concern or worry was the most influential characteristic in determining how safe children felt within an organisation”. To communicate to your communities that you are open to listening to concerns and that you welcome and encourage them to speak up is crucial to building a child safe culture. We have created some fabulous posters you can print and display around your communities that will help spread this message.

The Committee Room
Last month we launched the 'The Committee Room', a dedicated space created with grassroots netball committees in mind. We have received really positive feedback, so if you haven’t already, be sure to explore the site. Since the launch we have loaded another great resource called the "Grant Guide" that provides a step by step guide on how to be successful when applying for a grant.
