Statement on Electronic Communication

AFL Riverina this week would like to advise all of its stakeholders that AFL NSW/ACT has a policy relating to Social Media called “Statement on Electronic Communication”. The policy is required to stop inappropiate comments being made about groups, individuals, clubs, umpires etc.

Leagues, clubs or individuals who feel that they have been the victims of inappropriate electronic communication may report the matter in writing to their respective League Official/Administrator, along with any evidence (such as printouts) of the offending material.

The league shall then investigate the matter and, upon investigation, has the power to either deal with the matter itself or refer the matter to an Independent Tribunal or Conduct Committee.

Matters which are perceived to be more serious may be reported to police.
