Protecting young athletes from abuse of any kind is a key element of sports safety. We must be particularly vigilant for the warning signs of sexual abuse.
April is
Sexual Assault Awareness Month
, and we want to take the opportunity to remind our leaders in sport that implementing sexual abuse prevention policies and practices should be a top priority.
Our article "
