JOC HOSTS WORKSHOP ON SPORTS SAFETY FOR DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The Jordan Olympic Committee has hosted a specialised workshop on sports safety for members of disciplinary committees in sports federations to enhance awareness regarding practices and procedures that contribute to providing a safe sports environment.

The workshop addressed the concept of sports safety and its organisational and preventive frameworks, including approved policies, regulations, procedures to protect sports participants, maintain their physical and psychological safety and well-being, and mitigate risks of abuse and violations in all their forms.

The workshop also discussed the role of disciplinary committees and their responsibilities within the sports welfare system, mechanisms for handling complaints and cases according to approved procedures, governance and accountability principles, and the importance of ensuring safe, confidential channels for reporting.

The workshop falls within the JOC’s programmes to build the capacities of sports federations and consolidating an institutional approach to sports safety, centered on prevention, risk management, effective case response, aligning with international practices and contributing to a safe, inclusive sports environment for all.
