REPORT A SITUATION

Any Registrant who wishes to report an incident or concern related to misconduct or Prohibited Behaviour involving anyone in the WPC community—including athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, or parents/guardians—may do so through the following channels. 

  1. Sport Integrity Canada (SIC)

For concerns where the respondent (the person who engaged in maltreatment) is a Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) Participant, please contact SIC's CSSP team with questions or for support here: https://cces.ca/contactCSSP. 

1As of April 1, 2025, SIC will accept reports through an online report form and by phone - both methods allow you to remain anonymous if you wish. If you choose to share your name when you make a report, SIC will not share it with your sport organization unless it is necessary to keep you or someone else safe, and will make every effort to get your consent beforehand. 
2.  WPC Independent Third Party (ITP)

For concerns where the respondent (the person who engaged in maltreatment) is a non-UCCMS Participant, please contact WPC's designated Intependent Third Party2, ITP Sport, using the following link: https://app.integritycounts.ca/org/itpsport. The matter will be referred to the appropriate organization.

If you do not know whether the respondent is a CSSP Participant or not, you may submit the complaint to either CSSP or ITP Sport and the matter will be referred to the appropriate organization.
 3.  Statutory Reporting Obligations 
Where an incident involves a Minor or triggers mandatory reporting obligations under applicable law, individuals must also report through the applicable statutory channels in their jurisdiction.
All reports are treated with seriousness and sensitivity. WPC's policies ensure consistent, appropriate, and meaningful action in response to every concern raised. If you are unsure which pathway applies, contact WPC's Safe Sport Officer for guidance.
