Thank you to everyone who has stood behind the #ProtectAllAthletes petition. Your support is driving much-needed attention to safeguarding issues in sport.

We want to stress how vital it is to create a system where all adults can lodge official complaints about misconduct they’ve experienced in sport.

Here’s why this change is crucial for protecting children:

When adults can report misconduct freely and without barriers, it creates an opportunity to identify and remove dangerous individuals from the sporting environment. These investigations are not just about addressing past harm—they serve as a powerful prevention tool. Many perpetrators of abuse do not act in isolation or limit their behavior to one group. By enabling adults to safely report, we can stop a potential threat before it reaches our youngest and most vulnerable athletes.

The stories and experiences of adults often hold the keys to uncovering systemic problems or harmful behaviors that might otherwise go unnoticed. When adults are silenced, children are left exposed.

Signing this petition directly supports the creation of stronger safeguarding systems for children by ensuring misconduct is brought to light and addressed swiftly. This is how we prevent harm, build trust, and make sport the safe and empowering space it should be for everyone.

Let’s come together to protect the next generation. Every signature matters in pushing for a future where no child is left vulnerable and every athlete, regardless of age, is protected.

Please share this petition widely—together, we can ensure a safer future for all in sport.

Sign. Share. Protect. Change Lives.
