Safe Sport

Squash Canada Safe Sport Overview

Squash Canada believes that everyone in the sport has the right to enjoy the sport at whatever level or position they participate. Athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers have the right to participate in a safe and inclusive training and competitive environment that is free of abuse, harassment or discrimination.

Squash Canada believes the welfare of everyone involved in the sport is a foremost consideration and in particular, the protection of children/athletes in the sport is the responsibility of each individual, member and organization in the squash community.

Safe Sport Operational Statement

The Squash Canada safe sport program includes three key areas: education, prevention and response, all of which will be supported by strong governance, policies and procedures. The goal is to ensure that all participants in Squash Canada activity, at all levels, have the resources to provide and access a fun, healthy, inclusive and safe environment.

Abuse Free Sport

Abuse-Free Sport is Canada’s independent system for preventing and addressing maltreatment in sport. Our ultimate goal is to work with others throughout the Canadian sport system to ensure that every participant – no matter the sport, the level, or the role – has a safe, positive and enriching experience. Changing the culture of sport in Canada is everyone’s responsibility. Report here.

ABUSE-FREE SPORT REGISTRY

What is the Abuse-Free Sport Registry?

The Abuse-Free Sport Registry is a searchable database of individuals whose eligibility to participate in sport has in some way been restricted due to provisional measures and/or sanctions imposed, for purposes of carrying out the objectives of the UCCMS and the Abuse-Free Sport program.

The Registry supports the objectives of the UCCMS and of Abuse-Free Sport, including advancing a respectful sport culture that delivers quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming and safe sport experiences.
