Statement of Commitment
As a not-for-profit organization focused on building a healthy, active community dedicated to inclusion, physical literacy and performance athletes, PISE believes that everyone participating in sport has the right to safe and inclusive environments free of maltreatment, including (but not limited to): abuse, harassment and discrimination.
What is Safe Sport?
“Safe Sport” ensures that environments in which staff interact for the purposes of sport are free of maltreatment, and are supported by and uphold behaviors defined in the BC Universal Code of Conduct (BC UCC). PISE is committed to upholding SafeSport standards, which seeks that staff:
- Have appropriate background screening and criminal record checks
- Uphold the “rule of two”, where athlete interactions with adults are open and observable and involve other staff to be present.
- Have completed necessary training in ethics, safe sport, and or the prevention of child abuse.
