ABSSCM Resources

Not every concern that comes up in sport is a Safe Sport complaint, but every concern deserves to be taken seriously. The resources below are designed to help athletes, parents, coaches, officials, and sport administrators across Alberta understand what maltreatment is (and isn't), recognize early warning signs before they escalate, and know which pathway is right for a given situation, including when a concern must be reported under the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct (AB UCC) and how to use the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM) appropriately.

Safe Sport Awareness and Decision Guide

A step-by-step walkthrough that explains the difference between normal sport conflict, poor practice, and maltreatment, outlines the AB UCC's prohibited behaviour categories, and helps you decide when and how to report a concern.

ABSSCM Decision Map

A one-page flowchart version of the guide, useful as a quick, at-a-glance reference when you need to work through a concern in the moment.
