SafeSport is the Olympic community’s initiative to recognize, reduce, and respond to misconduct in sport.
The six primary types of misconduct are Bullying, Harassment, Hazing, Emotional Misconduct, Physical Misconduct, and Sexual Misconduct, including Child Sexual Abuse.
The main reason for this initiative is to understand what misconduct is, implement ways to reduce it, and identify plans to respond to it.
