District Governor Don Ripper recently emailed all Rotarians with important news about guidelines and codes of conduct for working with youth.

Wrote the DG: ``District 9820 has been working alongside other Victorian districts to establish policies, codes of conduct and declarations by Rotarians and all others involved in any Rotary Youth Programs.
It has been decided that all Rotarians be made aware of their club's obligations in this regard and all members in District 9820 should have received a message from me with three attachments -- .a Rotary Youth Volunteer Information and Declaration form, A Rotary Working with Youth Principles guide and a Code of Conduct for Working with Youth. I urge you all to read them.
The Revised Consolidated Youth Protection policy is currently in draft form and after legal checking and adoption by the District Board will also be distributed.''
