What types of misconduct does USEF Safe Sport Training aim to address?

The USEF Safe Sport Training focuses on addressing emotional, physical, and sexual misconduct, as well as harassment, to create a safe environment for all participants in equestrian sports. This comprehensive approach acknowledges the various ways misconduct can manifest and prioritizes the safety and well-being of individuals involved in the sport.

By covering these critical areas, the training aims to educate participants about recognizing, preventing, and responding to inappropriate behaviors that can lead to harm or danger. This effort not only seeks to reduce the risk of such misconduct occurring but also fosters a culture of respect and responsibility within the sport.

The focus on a wide range of misconduct types underscores the importance of holistic training that encompasses various forms of abuse and harassment, rather than isolating specific issues such as financial misconduct or technical violations, which are outside the primary concerns of Safe Sport.
