Creating a culture where everyone can thrive is a shared responsibility. The Safe Sport Training module developed by the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) will help anyone involved in sport identify and prevent situations of maltreatment.
Together, we can make sport safe for everyone.
The goal of the Rule of Two is to ensure all interactions and communications are in open, observable, and justifiable settings.
A safe sport environment ensures that all participants including coaches, staff, and administrators apply the Rule of Two.
The CAC’s Understanding the Rule of Two eLearning module outlines how you can increase the safety and security of sport participants while protecting all those involved.
How the Rule of Two works:
Work as a team
A coach should have another coach or screened adult (parent or volunteer) present when interacting with participants.
Remain open to the public
Have a training environment that ensures all situations are open, observable and justifiable.
Plan transportation
Have at least two adults present when traveling with a participant(s), and refer to your club travel policy.
Be sensible
Be considerate of the gender of the participant(s) when selecting coaches or volunteers.
Transparent communication
Ensure that all communications are sent to the group and/or include parents or guardian, without one-to-one messaging.
