Abstract:Few issues pose a more urgent threat to athlete health and well-being than the ongoing crisis of abuse in sport.1 There has been growing awareness of the types, prevalence and risk factors of abuse, artic- ulated most recently in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) consensus statement on interpersonal violence and safeguarding in sport,2 alongside broader questions concerning persistent integrity breaches across all levels of sport.3 Recently, global media headlines too often reflect the presence of both individual and collective misconduct and institutionalised harm, highlighting the pervasiveness of these issues. Significant change in sport relies on effective reporting processes, where people at all levels of sport can call out behaviour that breaches boundaries and puts people at risk. Yet, an expecta- tion or particularly the obligation to speak up4 creates a persistent tension: people do not always feel safe enough to do so. This editorial explores the need to include safe sport education as part of practitioner training to support those in the athlete entourage in their ability to reflect more deeply on their practice and to make sport safer.
