Reporting Toolkit

Our Case Manager is here to help.

Always inform Safe Sport when you have received a report of concern. We will advise if the case should be handled by you, Safe Sport, or jointly handled.

Establish what type of report the affected person is making.

Formal Reports will trigger an investigation, where Respondents and witnesses will be contacted and made known of the investigation.

Disclosures will not trigger investigations, but will be logged in the Safe Sport case database.

Affected persons can choose to change the type of reporting at any point.

What type(s) of Safe Sport misconduct have been reported?

Where might there have been breaches of your organisations Safe Sport policies?

What other code of conduct (e.g., NROC) breaches may have taken place?

As per Section 424 of the CPC: If you know of the commission or intention to commit a crime, you must report it to the Singapore Police Force.

Has the report highlighted any immediate risks to the affected person or others?

What could help mitigate risks? Consider temporary measures like separation or suspension while investigations are ongoing.

Put your new information gathering skills to the test and speak with the affected person to find out more about what has happened.

If they have elected to proceed with a formal report, interview the respondent and witnesses if necessary.

Complete the Preliminary Assessment Form and share a copy with Safe Sport. Include statements, conversation notes and any other types of communications, photos/videos/screenshots if any.

Store these securely and always share passwords to password-protected documents separately.

Reconvene with the Case Manager and categorise misconduct (A/B/C) based on severity scale.

Being part of an investigation can be stressful and traumatising. The Safe Sport Support Network is available to anyone involved in a investigation. Alternatively, refer to this list of helplines.

Consider other steps to protect your community, such as terminations or disciplinary measures. Has the incident highlighted a need for policy review or training and education intervention?
