All About Safe Sport
In partnership with Ehrman Ward Consulting
WHY SPORT ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO ADOPT AN ATHLETE CENTRIC VISION?
Education is one of the most important pillars of a successful implementation of Safe Sport policies. With Safe Sport gaining more traction and becoming a central piece of any sport organization, it is essential for organizations from the grassroots to the national level to have the right Safe Sport policies in place to protect their athletes, participants and members.
The goal of this webinar+workshop is to help your organization align your policies, be in good standing with stakeholders, and bring your community together around the importance of Safe Sport.
Before coming together to work on your safe sport policies, it is important to have the following information at hand:
Gather all documents and information relating to your current safe sport policies and processes. This includes constitutions, bylaws, any legislation that affects your organization, existing contracts and information and current information from your board.
Identify the key players – who needs to be involved
Your organization’s missions and vision
Your organization’s strategic plan
An awareness of your governance and operation structure – understand how the Board, committees, volunteers, and staff interact and work together.
