“…Further, it reflects the participants’ understanding that sport, if not appropriately governed, makes athletes vulnerable to debilitating injuries (e.g., concussions; Malcolm, 2020). The prevention of sport injuries is an important element of ensuring safety in sport and has been reflected historically through such measures as the mandating of helmets (Goudie & Page, 2013), recommendations for mouthguards (Daneshvar et al, 2011), introduction of concussion protocols (Ellis et al, 2018), and development of bodychecking policies in ice hockey (Johnson, 2011). To complement these initiatives, sport organizations such as the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) have designed and implemented training modules to increase stakeholders’ awareness of safety-related topics in sport, such as concussion management, prevention and recovery from injury, and leading drug-free sport.…”

In response to numerous highly publicized cases of athlete maltreatment, sport organizations have developed prevention and intervention strategies under the umbrella term of Safe Sport; however, confusion exists about what it does and does not encompass. To better understand what Safe Sport encompasses, this study sought to develop a conceptual framework of Safe Sport, informed by the perspectives of various stakeholders in sport. Using a social constructivist grounded theory approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with forty-one participants, including athletes, coaches, sport administrators, and researchers. The results are interpreted to suggest that participants’ understanding of Safe Sport are informed by three overarching themes: environmental and physical safety, relational safety, and optimising sport, all of which are viewed as continuously evolving relative to the ever-changing context of sport and broader society. Recommendations are made to optimise sport experiences and thus prevent physical and psychological harms through a safeguarding approach that prioritizes the promotion of human rights.
