Safe, fair and inclusive

Sport NZ as a kaitiaki of the system for play, active recreation and sport, is committed to supporting organisations to implement best practice to keep children and members safe and ensure involvement in play, active recreation and sport is kept safe, fair and inclusive for all.

Resources to help everyone

We’ve developed a suite of resources to help everyone increase their capability to prevent and deal with the many aspects of maintaining the integrity of play, active recreation and sport. Learn more and see how you can have a positive impact when dealing with child safety, inclusion, and integrity issues.

Integrity Guidance Portal

Our Integrity Guidance Portal will help you embed child and member safety into your organisation’s culture. Think about and enhance your organisation’s approach to child and member protection, diversity and inclusion, match-fixing and gambling, anti-doping and organisational culture.

This information is designed for organisations, administrators, coaches, parents and whanau.

In the portal you’ll find:

  • Policy and procedure templates to download and incorporate into your processes
  • A range of e-Learning modules, from introductory level to deep-dives, into specific integrity topics.

Sport and Recreation Complaints and Mediation Service

The Sport and Recreation Complaints and Mediation Service (SRCMS) is a safe and independent way for anyone engaged in sport and active recreation to lodge a complaint, issue or dispute and have it resolved in a timely manner. The service is free and is open to anyone involved in community sport and recreation as well as elite sport.

The service is operated by Immediation New Zealand Limited, an online dispute resolution company which has been contracted by Sport NZ.  It is wholly independent of Sport NZ, High Performance Sport New Zealand and all other sporting bodies, clubs and organisations.

Integrity Working Group

An independent Integrity Working Group was created to make recommendations to Sport NZ on what more could be done to ensure New Zealand has a world-class suite of integrity measures.
