Director Of Sanctions And Outcomes / Directeur Des Sanctions Et Résultats
Current
The Director of Sanctions and Outcomes (DSO) is broadly responsible to defend the interests of safe sport. Fully independent and reporting to the Maltreatment in Sport Sanctions Council (MSSC), the DSO has complete authority to impose sanctions on participants of organizations that have signed onto the Abuse-Free Sport program.Within the complaint management process, the DSO will make decisions regarding provisional measures and violations of the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS), and will impose sanctions where relevant.The DSO will appear before the Safeguarding Tribunal when decisions are challenged. In addition, the DSO will be responsible for approving mediated outcomes to ensure that they align with the objectives of the Abuse-Free Sport program.To ensure independent decision-making and continuity of service, a deputy DSO (DDSO) is available to fulfil the responsibilities of the DSO in the event of DSO absence, any real, apparent or perceived conflict of interest or duties involving the DSO, or any other reason deemed necessary by the MSSC. The DDSO will be subject to the same policies and procedures as the DSO and may discuss the application of the UCCMS with the DSO to ensure a consistent approach. The DSO is not responsible for decisions issued by the DDSO (and vice versa).
