Disclaimer: These templates were developed in 2022 by the Legal Team (Adam Klevinas, Benoit Girardin and Will Russell) with the support of the Canadian Olympic Committee to assist multisport and national sport organizations (MSO/NSO) to ensure that certain policies comply with the UCCMS/Abuse-Free Sport (AFS) requirements and procedures.
These Templates have been updated in 2024 to reflect recent changes to the AFS process and the 2023 Program Signatory Agreement. These policies must be customized and approved by each MSO or NSO. Neither the COC nor the Legal Team (Adam Klevinas, Benoit Girardin and Will Russell) shall be held responsible for the content of this template or its use by any MSO or NSO.
For your convenience, please note that we’ve created a “clean” version and a “tracked” version of each template. The tracked version details all the changes that were made to the 2022 version of the template in case you’ve already developed your policy and want to see what has been modified to apply these changes directly to your policy.
