Safety is about more than preventing harm.

When participants feel physically, emotionally, psychologically, and culturally safe, they're more likely to:

✔ Build confidence

✔ Stay engaged in sport

✔ Enjoy positive experiences that last a lifetime

Creating safe sport environments helps everyone perform, learn, and grow.

Because every great sport experience starts with feeling safe.

It is built on safe, inclusive environments where every child can participate, develop and thrive.

Everyone has a role to play in protecting children and fostering sporting environments built on trust, respect and accountability.

This Safe Sport Day, we're recognizing the importance of the International Safeguards for Children in Sport, a globally recognized framework that helps organizations prevent harm, uphold children's rights and strengthen safeguarding practices across all levels of sport.

Stand up. Speak out. Play your part.
