The Sexual Harassment Commission is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring a safe, respectful, and dignified environment for all individuals involved. Its particular focus is on safeguarding the welfare of children, young athletes, and female staff.

The commission is dedicated to creating a protective framework that shields young individuals from sexual harassment and emphasises the importance of ethical conduct, responsibility, and awareness across all levels of the organisation. Comprehensive education and training programs are in place to instil a deep-rooted understanding of respectful interactions, ensuring that every member of the community, especially the youth, feels secure and valued. Proactive measures are in place to prevent incidents, while robust protocols ensure swift and appropriate responses to any reports of harassment.

The commission's work extends beyond prevention to encompass a broad spectrum of initiatives designed to foster an environment where ethical practices are the norm and every individual's rights are respected. By championing these values, the Sexual Harassment Commission plays a crucial role in nurturing a culture of integrity and responsibility, making the organisation a safe space for everyone to grow, compete, and thrive.
