Safe Sport Training

This is training on harassment and abuse for everyone involved in sport: decision makers, those with direct athlete contact (including caregivers), and those with no direct athlete contact. Certified coaches are also eligible for Professional Development points toward their maintenance of their certification.

This course will help you:

• Understand that everyone has a role to play in keeping sport safe, how the misuse of power leads to maltreatment, and the principles of the Universal Code of Conduct.
• Understand the various types of maltreatment, the conditions that enable them, and how to recognize signs that they may be happening.
• Know what to do if you suspect maltreatment, and how you can create a culture that protects all participants.

Online Orientation

All new volunteers are encouraged to Special Olympics Canada's Online Volunteer Orientation.
