UCCMS INFORMATION
-
- common principles and a commitment to advance a respectful sport culture;
- standard definitions of various forms of prohibited behaviour, which include physical, sexual and psychological maltreatment;
- a list of other prohibited behaviours such as grooming, neglect, retaliation, failure to report maltreatment, intentionally filing false allegations, misuse of power, etc.; and
- a framework for determining appropriate sanctions against such prohibited behaviour.
The UCCMS is administered at the National Level by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), an independent, national, not-for-profit organization that deals with ethical issues in sport, including the administration of the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP).
On November 28, 2022, Taekwondo Canada formally adopted the UCCMS and the CSSP. As such, complaints regarding alleged violations of the UCCMS by National Team Athletes, National Team Coaches, Taekwondo Canada staff, Taekwondo Canada Board of Directors and Support Staff should be reported to the CCES via its online platform (https://cces.ca/report-safe-sport) or by phone (1-866-971-2777).
