What is the PlaySafe Flag Tool Based On?
The Flag System for Sport is a framework designed to help figure out if a behaviour is ok or not. It then makes suggestions for possible ways to respond.
This iteration is based on the Sensoa Flag System©, developed in Belgium, and is licensed from the International Centre for Ethics in Sport.
Please Note: This tool is based on the Sensoa Flag System© and content is licensed from the Flag System: Sports with boundaries (Centre for Ethics in Sports). No information is collected, nothing other than the number of users is tracked, and no complaint is filed – so it’s a safe way to work through any situation and get suggestions for possible ways to respond.
