Sport Dispute Resolution

Safe Sport Dispute Resolution Program

In October 2021, Sport New Brunswick, in collaboration with the Sport & Recreation Branch (SRB) of the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, launched the NB Safe Sport Dispute Resolution Program (NBSSDRP). 

The Program strives to provide support to a complainant within the New Brunswick amateur sport system for certain disputes by accessing an independent and unbiased third-party mechanism

Two types of complaints can be eligible to enter the program: 

• Complaints of Maltreatment as defined in the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) 
• Complaint of failure to comply with a PSO/MSO’s constitution and/or by-laws

Sport NB has proudly partnered with ITP sport for the administration of the NBSSDRP.  All complaints will now be received through WhistleBlower Security Inc., a secure and independent reporting intake and case management system.  This multilingual (150 languages) phone line and secure online platform is available to members 24/7/365, and ensures that all complaints are managed through independent expert consultation services.

To file a complaint, please call 1-800-758-9412 or visit the website at:
