Sport Integrity Australia - National Integrity Framework (Policies & Documents)
commences 11th July 2022
As of July 2022, Lacrosse in Australia will utilise Sport Integrity Australia’s (SIA) National Integrity Framework (NIF) which takes a proactive approach to mitigate integrity threats to sports and provide a safe, fair and healthy environment for participants at all levels of sport. The Framework is a streamlined suite of policies (5 policies) that sets out the broad expectations for the conduct of all participants in sport. These expectations relate to (1) safeguarding children, (2) member protection, (3) competition manipulation and sports wagering, and the (4) misuse of drugs and medicines.
The Framework also includes the (5) Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy. This policy outlines the procedures for managing, reporting, assessing and deter-mining potential breaches of the integrity policies contained in the Framework. Under this policy, Sport Integrity Australia will undertake the independent complaint assessment and review process.
The Framework is designed to reduce the administrative burden on sports and pro-vide better outcomes for sports and their members when disputes arise. This means this new framework will replace the old Member Protection policy and ensure there is a national approach and consistency moving forward.
