UCCMS Consent Form (MINORS)

Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport Consent Form (MINORS)

I hereby consent to the following terms regarding the administration and enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (the "UCCMS"), and the collection, use and disclosure of my (my child, as applicable) personal information in relation to the administration and enforcement of the UCCMS as detailed herein.

The purpose of the UCCMS is to advance a respectful sport culture that delivers quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming and safe sport experiences. Individuals should have the reasonable expectation when they participate in sport in Canada that it will be in an environment that is free from all forms of Maltreatment (as such term is defined in the UCCMS) and that treats every individual with dignity and respect.

The Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada ("SDRCC") is created by the Physical Activity and Sport Act (Canada) (the "Legislation"). The Government of Canada has mandated the SDRCC to implement the administration and enforcement mechanism of the UCCMS at the national level.

I am (my child is) subject to the terms of the UCCMS. I (my child) will be subject to the terms of the UCCMS for the duration of time that I (my child) participate in the business, activities or events of Softball Canada, or, where applicable, for the duration that I am (my child is) employed or contracted by, or otherwise associated with Softball Canada (hereafter referred to as the “NSO”).
I (on behalf of my child) acknowledge that the NSO has provided me (and my child) with a copy of the UCCMS (available at https://sportintegritycommissioner.ca/uccms), and that I (and my child) have had an opportunity to review the UCCMS.
I am (my child is) subject to the jurisdiction of the NSO, the SDRCC and their respective agents in the administration and/or enforcement of the UCCMS. I am (my child is) subject to such jurisdiction during the period that I (my child) participate in the business, activities or events of the NSO, or, where applicable, for the duration that I am (my child is) employed or contracted by, or otherwise associated with, the NSO, and for such longer period as required for purposes of administration and enforcement of the UCCMS.
If a complaint is made under the UCCMS in relation to me (my child), the NSO, the SDRCC and their respective agents will receive, process and adjudicate such complaint. For purposes of receiving, processing and adjudicating such complaint, the NSO, the SDRCC and their respective agents may collect, use and disclose information collected from me (my child), and/or about me (my child), including but not limited to the following:

allegations, evidence or information provided by a complainant;
allegations, evidence or information from third parties or other available sources; and/or
any response, statement or evidence that I (my child) provide.

For purposes of processing and/or investigating a complaint under the UCCMS in relation to me (my child), the NSO, the SDRCC and their respective agents may disclose information relating to such complaint to individuals who are deemed relevant to the investigation.
If a complaint is made under the UCCMS in relation to another individual or a sports organization or enterprise, the NSO, the SDRCC and their respective agents may collect information from or about me (my child) as it relates to the receipt, processing and adjudication of such complaint.
In connection with a complaint against me (my child) under the UCCMS, the SDRCC may disclose the following information about me (my child) on a registry (the "Registry") for purposes of carrying out the objectives of the UCCMS and the Legislation, and the mandate of the SDRCC.

my (my child’s) full name;
organization(s) with which I am (my child is) or have been affiliated;
other sports organizations or enterprises with which I am (my child is) or have been affiliated;
any other relevant information necessary to identify me (my child);
nature of the allegations against me (my child) including the specific acts alleged to constitute a violation of the UCCMS;
relevant dates corresponding to the complaint;
findings against me (my child), if any;
disciplinary action taken against or in relation to me (my child) arising from such complaint, if any; and/or
the dismissal of any complaint made against me (my child).

Subject to applicable laws, the SDRCC may disclose the information on the Registry (i) to any person and (ii) for any such period of time, that is necessary to achieve the objectives of the UCCMS and the Legislation, and the mandate of the SDRCC.
The SDRCC may disclose information in relation to a complaint against me (my child) (as described herein) on the Registry prior to the adjudication of such complaint to the extent the SDRCC deems it necessary to do so in order to carry out the objectives of the UCCMS and the Legislation, and the mandate of the SDRCC. The SDRCC may also disclose the information about me (my child) (as described herein) on the Registry following an initial or final adjudication of a complaint against me (my child).
I (on my behalf and that of my child) cannot withdraw my consent provided herein to the collection, use and disclosure of my personal information as detailed herein. I (on my behalf and that of my child) understand and accept that to permit a withdrawal of consent would frustrate the performance of the SDRCC's legal obligations under the UCCMS and the Legislation, and pursuant to its mandate, and would frustrate the purpose of the UCCMS.
