The Park Orchards North Ringwood Parish Junior Football Club (PONRPJFC) requires that all disputes are resolved to the satisfaction of the members and Committee in a timely fashion.
Accordingly, the following dispute resolution procedures have been developed to enable this objective to be fulfilled.
All members have a responsibility to participate in reasonable actions to resolve disputes. The procedures below detail the level of involvement for expediting dispute resolution.
Procedure
Any person wishing to raise a dispute or issue shall do so as follows:
Dispute raised with:
- Football or team related: Shall be referred to the Team Manager or Coach
- General nature: Shall be referred to the Committee Member
Where possible, the person reporting the issue should make suggestions that may resolve the issue.
As soon as possible after a dispute or issue has been reported, the Team Manager, Coach and/or Committee Member and the claimant must meet and try and resolve the issue.
Issue unresolved:
- Where the initial parties cannot resolve the issue, the Team Manager should refer the matter to The Committee through the Team Manager Coordinator, President or Secretary as soon as possible. In attempting to resolve the issue, all parties should consider the following factors:
2.1. The extent of the issue (i.e., if it is likely to have a wider effect on the Club).
2.2. The number of players or teams affected.
2.3. Whether appropriate temporary measures are possible or desirable.
2.4. The expected time before the issue can be addressed; and
2.5. The resources that may be needed to resolve the issue. - The consent of the Committee must be obtained before any external parties are involved in the resolution of Club issues. Only the Club President (or any other Committee member authorised by the President) is authorised to make public statements on behalf of the Club.
- The Team Manager and/or Coach may at any time call on Committee Members for assistance.
