Safe Sport Model Policies

 

Policies play an integral role in ensuring your organization is protected and protecting its members from all forms of maltreatment. These safe sport policy templates were designed with minors at the center, though they apply to all participants.

Every organization is operating at different stages of their safe sport journey. The policy templates have been divided into three tiers (1, 2, and 3) in order to assist administrators, coaches, Board members, and stakeholders assess the operational level of their sport organization and tailor their policies, procedures and practices accordingly. Each tier represents a different level of organizational structure, resources, commitments and capacities. By identifying where your organization aligns, you can better understand the strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth of your sports community. You can then select and adopt the policy tier that best fits the needs of your sport organization. For more information on how to determine your organization's appropriate tier, please refer to Appendix B - Organizational Tiers and Characteristic of the Implementation Guide.

Implementation Guide

This Implementation Guide ("Guide") is intended to help you and your organization put the safe sport policy templates into practice. The goal of this Guide is to outline steps that can be taken to adopt, implement and start using the policies, while clarifying any potentially ambiguous notions. Additionally, the Guide contains samples and tools that can be customized to help with the implementation of the policies.
