The UCCMS is the core document that sets harmonized rules to be adopted by federally-funded sport organizations in order to foster a respectful sport culture to deliver quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming and safe sport experiences.

The UCCMS addresses:

• common principles and a commitment to advance a respectful sport culture;
• standard definitions of various forms of maltreatment, including grooming, neglect, and physical, sexual, and psychological abuse;
• a list of other prohibited behavior such as retaliation, failure to report maltreatment, intentionally filing false allegations, misuse of power, etc.; and
• a framework for determining appropriate sanctions against such prohibited behavior.

During the first webinar of our series, the OSIC team will give an overview of the UCCMS and summarize the changes seen in the updated version 6.0.
