As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our safe sport protocols, we\u2019d like to inform you of some important updates: effective immediately, KidSport Alberta has implemented the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism<\/a> (ABSSCM). This replaces all previous mechanisms we had engaged for the reporting and resolution of maltreatment complaints and it is now the exclusive process for doing reporting and resolving maltreatment complaints. As part of this process, KidSport has adopted both the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct<\/a>\u00a0(AB UCC) and the\u00a0Reporting and Independent Resolution Policy<\/a> (RIRP). As part of the adoption of those policies, KidSport Alberta is proud to announce that we\u2019ve partnered with ALIAS Solutions Inc. as the exclusive independent safe sport reporting service.<\/p>\n This new platform will allow individuals to report improper conduct confidentially via both the web and phone, ensuring that all safe sport (maltreatment) reports are managed by ALIAS\u2019s independent third-party case management team.<\/p>\n This partnership strengthens our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and transparent environment for all KidSport Alberta families. KidSport Alberta is proud to be at the forefront of creating a safe and inclusive sport environment.
