The Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association (AAWA) is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all participants. The Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM) offers a clear and confidential process for reporting concerns related to maltreatment, harassment, abuse, discrimination, or other breaches of Safe Sport policies.

 

This independent mechanism ensures that complaints are handled fairly, consistently, and with the well-being of all individuals as the top priority. Athletes, coaches, officials, parents, and members are encouraged to use this process to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

Important Update: Changes to Safe Sport Reporting 

 

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our safe sport protocols, we’d like to inform you of some important updates: effective immediately, the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association has implemented the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM). This replaces all previous mechanisms that the AAWA had engaged for the reporting and resolution of maltreatment complaints, and it is now the exclusive process for doing reporting and resolving maltreatment complaints. As part of this process, the AAWA has adopted both the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct (AB UCC) and the Reporting and Independent Resolution Policy (RIRP). As part of the adoption of those policies, the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association is proud to announce that we’ve partnered with ALIAS Solutions Inc. as the exclusive independent safe sport reporting service. 

​

This new platform will allow individuals to report improper conduct confidentially via both the web and phone, ensuring that all safe sport (maltreatment) reports are managed by ALIAS’s independent third-party case management team. 

​

This partnership strengthens our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and transparent environment for all Amateur Wrestling Alberta members. Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful and supportive Amateur Wrestling community!

HOW IT WORKS 

You will be linked immediately to the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM) powered by ALIAS where you will fill out the online complaint form.  The complainant will be contacted within 48 working hours; receivability conclusion target ≈ 10 business days (may flex based on party availability). 

Case managers are experienced in helping victims of maltreatment, professionally and personally independent of the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association. They know and understand the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association Safe Sport policies.  They are qualified and experienced in navigating complaints of maltreatment. 

​

The Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism does not handle association/club level complaints or concerns involving procedure, team selection, suspensions, match or misconduct reports, ice-time/ice allotments, or other complaint/concerns of this nature. These complaints should be sent to your local association/club according to their policies. 

​

If you are unsure if your complaint constitutes maltreatment, please review the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct (ABUCC). 

​

The Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association abides by the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct (AB UCC) to guide the organization, our members, and our organizational participants in ensuring the safety and well-being of those associated with the sport of Amateur Wrestling. 

​

Each person has a responsibility to help keep the sport safe. Reports of maltreatment that come to the attention of any the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association staff will be directed to contact ALIAS using the "Report a Complaint" button. 

​

By providing you with this service, the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association is reaffirming its commitment to protect its members by providing a safe and positive environment within the programs, business, activities and events of the Organization.
