Reporting Harassment, Violence and Abuse

There are several steps you can take if you have concerns about harassment, violence or abuse that you believe is happening:

• It is preferable to initially try to resolve the issue at your local level. Talk to someone you trust who holds a position of responsibility with the team, league or association.
• If you feel the situation can not be resolved locally, contact your provincial sport organization (visit the Sport BC website at for contact information).
• If you suspect child abuse of a physical or sexual nature, report it to one or more of the following:
  • Local police
  • Your local Ministry of Children and Family Development office
  • Helpline for Children line at 310-1234 (no area code is required)
  • Crimestoppers Tips Line at 1-800-222-TIPS
