PURPOSE This document outlines the Delta Gymnastics (Delta) Policy in relation to the use of change rooms and toilets at Delta facilities. SCOPE As part of Delta's ongoing commitment to child safety, we endeavour to ensure all children remain appropriately supervised in a safe environment for the duration of their time at Delta. The Delta Gymnastics Change Room and Toilet policy is a guiding document intended to ensure all participants and patrons have safe, inclusive and equitable access to the club. POLICY/PROCEDURE For the purpose of this policy Neil R., Carlson (2010). Psychology: The science of behavior. Fourth Canadian edition defines the distinction between sex and gender differentiates a person's biological sex (the anatomy of an individual's reproductive system, and secondary sex characteristics) from that person's gender, which can refer to either social roles based on the sex of the person (gender role) or personal identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness (gender identity) Change Room / Toilet Use

• Patrons (including members and parents/guardians) may utilise the bathroom or change room which most closely aligns with their gender identity
• If a family change room or unisex bathroom is not available, parents/guardians are permitted to take children under the age of six to the bathroom of the parents/guardian’s gender.
• Patrons (individuals) may use bathrooms according to their gender identities.

Bathroom Use During Class If the gymnast is in a one-hour class (or under the age of 8), they must always be accompanied by one of the following: -       A parent or guardian (no other gymnast required) -       A coach or Delta staff member (with another same gender gymnast) (if known)) If the gymnast is in a one and a half hour + class (or over the age of 8), they must always be accompanied by one of the following: -       A parent or guardian (no other gymnast required) -       Groups of two (with another same gender gymnast (if known)) *Please note, in cases where a coach or Delta staff member accompanies a gymnast under the age of 8 to the toilet (with another same gender gymnast (if known)), they will remain in a line of sight of the toilet entrance. Photography

• For privacy reasons, the use of audio or visual recording devices, including a mobile phone camera, is PROHIBITED in changing areas, bathrooms or toilets.

  BREACH OF POLICY Breaches of this policy include but are not limited to:
