Sport and physical activity is a human right and can bring many benefits for those who participate as well as for wider society.<\/p>
\n

However, sport can also expose individuals to risks of violence and abuse; some risks are unique to sport and some individuals are particularly vulnerable.<\/p>
\n

Sport is a microcosm of society \u2013 whilst we cannot right the ills of society, we can take action to ensure participants in basketball can thrive in a safe and supportive environment.<\/div><\/header>

The welfare of the basketball community, especially minors, is of paramount concern. When any member of the basketball community is subjected to or engages in abuse or misconduct, it undermines the mission and values of the GBF and is inconsistent with the best interests of basketball. All forms of harassment and abuse are prohibited and will not be tolerated by the GBF.<\/span><\/div><\/div>

SAFEGUARDING<\/span>POLICY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>
Everyone in Guyana has the right to participate in basketball in an environment that is safe and enjoyable. Inclusion, equality and diversity are at the heart of GBF\u2019s values. Thus, GBF is committed to establishing and implementing policies that safeguard the welfare of participants, which includes non-discrimination and the prevention of harassment and abuse.<\/p>
\n

This GBF Safeguarding Policy (the Policy) aims to ensure that basketball is a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience for all persons involved, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and social and economic background, religion, and level of ability or disability.<\/p>
\n

The GBF has a zero-tolerance stance towards harassment, discrimination, or abuse of any kind. Accordingly, the GBF\u2019s commitment to a safe basketball environment is enshrined in the GBF\u2019s Constitution and it is under such principles that this Safeguarding Policy is enacted.
