Fostering a sport environment that is safe for all participants, at all levels of competition, is everyone’s responsibility. A safe sport environment is one that does not jeopardize an athlete’s mental, physical, emotional or sexual health and well-being, but instead promotes strength, resilience, and self-confidence.
Athletes, particularly those competing at high levels, may be vulnerable to attacks on their health and well-being from people they know – trainers and other athletes, for example – as well as from people they do not know – media and strangers through social media. It is essential that all participants are protected from harm through a combination of education and prevention initiatives, comprehensive and actionable policies and protocols, and compassionate and just crisis management.
The Code of Conduct sets the standard for fairness, respect, and equitable participation in tennis. Tennis Canada promotes a safe, inclusive environment aligned with its core values and free from neglect and maltreatment. The Code applies to all personnel, athletes, and coaches, outlining expectations and consequences for non-compliance. It encourages reporting any violations, particularly those involving neglect or maltreatment, and follows the Universal Code of Conduct to ensure a positive tennis experience.
The Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP), administered by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), aims to ensure that all individuals involved in national-level, federally funded sport organizations in Canada can train and compete in environments that are safe, respectful, and supportive. Effective April 1, 2025, the CCES is responsible for independently enforcing the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) through the CSSP.
