USA Fencing Adopts Safe Sport Policy at Emergency Board Meeting

8/1/2013

July 17, 2013 - At an emergency board meeting, USA Fencing voted to adopt a new policy called Safe Sport, which has been in development for the past 3 years. The policy is intended to help prevent unsafe situations in which an athlete could be abused.

The new policy builds on existing policy and more explicitly defines misconduct, outlines best practices, and provides a way to report issues. It also expands background check requirements.

The Iowa Division is committed to providing a safe fencing environment and takes reports of misconduct seriously. We expect that the USFA will be tweaking the policy throughout the season to reflect some of the obvious practical issues that will undoubtedly arise, given the initial wording of the document.
