Medical cover: at every game each team must have someone on the sideline who is not playing and who has the training, knowledge and certification to assess injuries, give medical attention and assess possible concussions. The host team must also have an Emergency Action Plan and a named contact responsible for putting it into operation.
Coaches: all WWCFL coaches must complete Making Headway in Football and Safe Contact before the season starts.
Maltreatment complaints: these go to the accused person's Provincial Sport Organization through its ITP Sport reporting tool or safe sport policy. The WWCFL Executive will not investigate or comment on them; it can only direct you to the right channel.
Game discipline is handled separately through the WWCFL Game Discipline Policy.
