Description

New Webinar: Understanding US Sports Systems & Reporting

Advocates can work with sports-based reporting systems as options for athletes who have experienced abuse.

Join The Assist and the US Center for SafeSport for a conversation on US-based abuse-in-sport reporting systems and how they can support athletes, survivors, and multidisciplinary response teams.

Together, we’ll explore how sport and safeguarding reporting systems operate in the US and how SARTs and MDTs can leverage these tools to improve access, response, and athlete support.

We’ll be joined by:
Jessica Perrill, General Counsel & Vice President of Response & Resolution of US Center for SafeSport

Kyle MacTaggart, Deputy General Counsel of US Center of SafeSport

This session is designed for professionals committed to strengthening reporting pathways and advancing safer sport cultures.
