Safeguarding & Child Protection

Everyone, especially children and young people, has the right to take part in sport safely and free from harm.

Our principles

  • Safety first

    The welfare of children always comes first.

  • Respect

    No form of harassment, bullying, or abuse is tolerated.

  • Appropriate checks

    Adults working regularly with minors are subject to background checks where required by Finnish law.

  • Open communication

    Concerns can be raised safely and will be taken seriously.

Raising a concern

If you have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of a child, contact the association confidentially. In an emergency, always call 112. Support is also available from the Finnish Center for Integrity in Sports (SUEK) Et ole yksin service.
