OTTAWA – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport has suspended Cricket Canada from the Canadian Safe Sport Program.
The suspension was for failure to meet participant e-learning and consent requirements, the CCES said Wednesday in a statement.
The Canadian Centre For Ethics in Sport took on the management of safe sport in Canada from the shuttered Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner on April 1, when it became the CCES’s job to manage and investigate complaints and reports of abuse and maltreatment in sport.
The CCES said it had been working with Cricket Canada since then toward adopting the Canadian Safe Sport Program, which included participants completing a mandatory 40-minute e-learning module and signing a consent form, in order for participants to understand their rights and responsibilities under the safe sport program.
“The necessary requirements have not yet been fulfilled,” the CCES said in a statement, adding that both Cricket Canada and Sport Canada were notified.
“Without these foundational requirements, the CCES may be unable to process safe sport reports involving individuals from these organizations. These obligations are in place to protect all participants and to reinforce the collective responsibility of the sport community in upholding safe sport standards.”
Cricket players no longer have access to CCES reporting mechanisms or protections, and must contact Cricket Canada for options, the CCES said.
If the outstanding obligations are fulfilled, the CCES indicated it will reinstate the national sport organization in the Canadian Safe Sport Program and will make that information public.
Cricket Canada didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
