To a culture of safety and listening at every level of our sport, every day.
About
A welcoming and inclusive environment, for everyone.
At World Triathlon, we are committed to safeguarding by helping create an environment that is welcoming and inclusive — where everyone feels safe, respected, understood and protected from any abuse, harm, neglect or exploitation.
We believe safeguarding is not only about responding when something goes wrong, but also about taking proactive steps to prevent harm and build a culture of safety and trust across all levels of our sport.
Safeguarding is about promoting the welfare of children and adults and protecting them from any form of abuse and harm. Everyone involved with World Triathlon must work together to prevent, identify, and respond to any harm to the health or well-being of children and adults — and therefore create a safe, welcoming and positive environment for anyone involved with the sport of Triathlon.
World Triathlon Safeguarding Policy

A message from our President.
This commitment applies to everyone — regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, disability, or religion — and to every role in our community: member federations, athletes, technical officials, coaches, facilitators, and staff. A safe triathlon environment, from the grassroots to elite level, is essential to the daily growth of our sport worldwide. Everyone involved has a duty of care and a responsibility to speak up. Ultimately, safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. We all CARE.
