How do I report a concern through Cheer Canada's SafeSport process?

Cheer Canada expects all participants to promptly report any behaviour that may breach the Code of Conduct or the law. Concerns are handled at four levels:

1. Program level: for less severe issues, try to address it respectfully with the person, then contact the gym manager or owner, club president or board.
2. Provincial level: for more severe issues, or when the concern involves the person who receives complaints, report to the provincial sport association.
3. Cheer Canada level: for concerns involving Team Canada or Cheer Canada events, unsuccessful attempts at the first two levels, multiple provincial bodies, non-program matters, or serious issues such as abuse, harassment or discrimination.
4. Independent third party: Sport Dispute Management, at complaints@sportdispute.com or through the online form on the SafeSport page. Reports are confidential, including from Cheer Canada staff.

Suspected child abuse must be reported immediately to local child protection and/or police, then to Cheer Canada. Good faith reports that turn out to be unsubstantiated will not be met with retaliation. Anonymous reports are discouraged.
