What is Safe Sport?

Recognizing, Reducing, & Responding to Misconduct and Abuse in Sport

We all have a role to play to ensure our members — especially our young ones — are safe.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport was created to address the issue of abuse in sport. The Center works with National Governing Bodies, including US Equestrian, to enforce the SafeSport Code and the Federal Safe Sport Act. The policies in both the Code and Federal Law are aimed at protecting athletes from harm and abuse and apply to all Olympic and amateur sporting disciplines.
