Sport participants have the right to train and compete in safe and supportive environments. It is important to report maltreatment to help build a safe sport system in Canada.
Sport Integrity Canada independently administers the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) for federally funded national-level sport organizations through the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP). We receive and respond to reports about individuals who may have engaged in prohibited behaviour under the UCCMS.
Sport Integrity Canada receives and responds to reports of individuals who may have engaged in prohibited behaviour under the UCCMS. This includes:
- psychological maltreatment
- physical maltreatment
- neglect
- sexual maltreatment
- grooming
- boundary transgressions
- discrimination
- subjecting a participant to the risk of maltreatment
- aiding and abetting
- failing to report possible maltreatment
- intentionally reporting a false allegation
- interference with or manipulation of a process
- retaliation
For more information about prohibited behaviours, consult the glossary definitions and the detailed descriptions and examples in the UCCMS.
As of April 1, Sport Integrity Canada will accept reports through an online report form and by phone – both methods allow you to remain anonymous, if you wish. If you choose to share your name when you make a report, Sport Integrity Canada will not share it with your sport organization unless it is necessary to keep you or someone else safe, and will make every effort to get your consent beforehand.
