1 Sun Protection Policy and Procedures Background A balance of ultraviolet radiation (UV) exposure is important for health. Too much of the sun s UV can cause sunburn, skin and eye damage and skin cancer. Exposure to the sun s UV during childhood and adolescence is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer in later life. Too little UV from the sun can lead to low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and muscles, and for general health. The Sun Protection Policy has been developed to balance these requirements, and provide a health and safe environment to all children and staff. The Policy incorporates: Guidelines and recommendations outlined by the Cancer Council Requirements stipulated under the Education and Care Services National Regulations (2011). Information for parents / guardians, educators, volunteers and children attending YMCA Whittlesea s Children s Services Programs regarding a healthy balance of UV radiation exposure. Policy All YMCA Whittlesea programs and services will use a combination of sun protection measures for all outdoor activities from September to the end of April, and whenever UV levels reach 3 and above (the level that can damage skin and eyes). Commitment YMCA Whittlesea is committed to the following: Ensuring all children, educators and staff have some UV exposure for vitamin D, and encourage safe UV exposure whenever UV Index levels are below 3. Ensuring all children, educators and staff are well protected from too much UV exposure by using a combination of sun protection measures whenever UV levels reach 3 and above. Ensuring the outdoor environment is sun safe and provides shade for children, educators and staff. Ensuring children are encouraged and supported to develop independent sun protection skills. Supporting duty of care and regulatory requirements. Supporting appropriate OHS strategies to minimize UV risk and associated harms for educators, staff and visitors. Ensuring that participants, visitors, families, volunteers and staff are informed of the Sun Protection Policy. Ensuring that curriculum planning will minimize exposure to the sun and also promote an awareness of sun protection and sun safe strategies. This policy shall apply from the beginning of September until the end of April each year. During this period a combination of sun protection measures are to be used for all outdoor activities.
2 Procedures for all YMCA Whittlesea programs and services The following five guidelines will be implemented for all YMCA Whittlesea programs and services under the conditions of the policy and commitment described above. 1. Seek shade A shade audit is conducted regularly to determine the current availability and quality of shade. Management makes sure there is a sufficient number of shelters and trees providing shade in the outdoor area. The availability of shade is considered when planning all outdoor activities and excursions. Children are encouraged to choose and use available areas of shade when outside. Children who do not have appropriate hats or outdoor clothing are asked to choose a shady play space or a suitable area protected from the sun. 2. Slip on sun protective clothing When outside, children are required to wear loose fitting clothing that covers as much skin as possible. If a child is not wearing sun-safe clothing (e.g. a singlet top or shoestring dress) they will be required to choose a t-shirt/shirt to wear over the top before going outdoors. Refer also to Clothing Policy. 3. Slap on a hat All children are required to wear hats that protect their face, neck and ears i.e. legionnaire, broad-brimmed or bucket hats are strongly recommended. Baseball or peak caps are not considered a suitable alternative. 4. Slop on sunscreen SPF 30 or higher broad spectrum, water resistant sunscreen is supplied by the service and/or families. Sunscreen is applied at least 20 minutes before going outdoors and reapplied every TWO hours if outdoors. To help develop independent skills, children from 3 years of age are given opportunities and encouraged to apply their own sunscreen under supervision of staff. 5. Slide on sunglasses Where practical, children are encouraged to wear close fitting, wrap-around sunglasses that meet the Australian Standard 1067 and cover as much of the eye area as possible. Staff and Role Modelling As part of OHS UV risk controls and role-modelling, when the UV level is 3 and above staff will: Wear sun protective hats, clothing and sunglasses when outside. Apply SPF 30+ broad spectrum, water resistant sunscreen.
3 Seek shade whenever possible. Discuss sun safety with children and other participants, and implement appropriate measures to protect children from overexposure to ultraviolet radiation. Families, parents and visitors are requested to use a combination of sun protection measures (sun protective clothing and hats, shade, sunglasses and sunscreen) when attending a YMCA Whittlesea service or program. In addition, all staff are educated in First Aid including heat exhaustion/exposure and how to actively care and educate participants to prevent heat related illness from occurring. Planned experiences Learning about Sun Protection and the importance of vitamin D are incorporated into planned programs. The Sun Protection policy is reinforced through staff and children's activities and displays. Staff and families are provided with information on sun protection and vitamin D through newsletters, noticeboards and the service s website. Communication All YMCA Whittlesea services will: Display the Sun Protection policy for parents / carers, and discuss it with the participants. Regularly reinforce Sun Protection behaviour through correspondence with families via the notice board and displays, and through planned children and educator activities Ensure information about the Sun Protection policy is included in parent handbooks, enrolment forms and other important documentation sent to participants and their families. Acknowledge the significant contribution from parents and guardians in ensuring policy compliance and actively collaborate with families to ensure the provision of Sun Smart clothing, hats, sunglasses (optional) and sunscreen for children is suitable and meets both the service and family needs. From May to August When average UV Index levels are below 3: Sun Protection measures are not used from May until August unless the UV Index level reaches 3 and above. This is to help maintain winter vitamin D levels. Sun protection measures are only required when in alpine regions, near highly reflective surfaces such as snow or outside for extended periods. The Nominated Supervisor and/or delegate will check the daily UV alert and ensure the Sun Protection policy is implemented for days above UV alert 3. Enrolment Process When enrolling, parents will be: Informed of the Sun Protection Policy. Asked to provide a hat for outdoor play. Required to give authorisation to staff to administer sunscreen.
4 Encouraged to apply sunscreen in the morning so it is absorbed into skin.

Providing a supply of sunscreen for use on all persons to whom this policy applies. Ensuring children wear appropriate sunhats, clothing for sun protection and sunscreen when attending the service.

Ensuring educators are aware that all babies under 12 months need particular care and should be well protected from direct sun.

Definitions Clothing for sun protection: Clothing that is loose fitting, made from cool, densely woven fabric and covers as much as possible, tops with elbow length sleeves and, if possible, collars and knee length or longer style shorts and skirts. Singlet tops and shoestring tops/dresses do not provide adequate protection in the sun. Shade: An area sheltered from direct or indirect sun, such as a large tree, canopy or artificial cover. As recommended by Cancer Council Victoria, where possible, shade will provide a minimum of 94% protection against UV radiation.
