Safe Sport Resources


Lacrosse Nova Scotia has adopted Sport Nova Scotia's Safe Sport Suite of Policies. In addition, we follow Lacrosse Canada's governance around Safe Sport.  The following are links to the important information and educations to be considered by all our membership.

 

 

Quality sport experiences provide countless benefits, like boosting physical and mental health, bringing people together to be part of a community, developing invaluable life skills, and much more. By maintaining secure and supportive sport environments, we can ensure that everyone enjoys the many advantages of participating. And we all have a role to play in making sport safer!

Sport Nova Scotia has provided provincial sport organizations across the province with supports meant to ensure safer and more respectful environments for all participants. If you are experiencing or have witnessed maltreatment in our sport system, there is an accessible and confidential complaint process now available to you.

Individuals are able to make complaints of maltreatment as identified in the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS). This includes complaints of physical maltreatment, neglect, psychological maltreatment, sexual maltreatment, grooming, boundary transgressions and discrimination. Please be advised that administrative concerns (like coach assignments, player selections, or facility bookings for example) should continue to be directly communicated to [Insert Name of PSO].

Lacrosse Nova Scotia is committed to partnerships and supports to advance Truth and Reconciliation in Sport. This is very important since our sport is of Indigenous origin.  We honor the Creator's game.  Specifically, we would like to see progress in Calls to Action #87-91.
