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.
