Guidelines of safer space at UniSport

The purpose of these guidelines is to prevent inappropriate behaviour such as harassment, bullying and discrimination in university sports and to help us intervene in this kind of behavior. We can create an equal and community-focused atmosphere in university sports by taking other people into consideration in a respectful way. These guidelines apply to both customers and staff, and to all UniSport operations.

The guidelines are based on the Finnish Student Sports Federation (OLL) Safer space guidelines for university sports.

We let everyone train in peace

• We use respectful language. We only give comments on the performance of others if asked.
• Other people’s bodies are none of our business. We don’t touch others without permission or comment on other people’s bodies or appearance.
• We pay attention to other customers when we film and record. We are also respectful on social media.

We treat each other equally

• We cannot know someone’s experiences, thoughts, life situation, sexuality, gender, nationality, culture, language, religion, values, health status or functional ability based on their appearance, manner of speaking or other behavior.
• We give everyone an equal chance to participate.

We learn from our mistakes

• We take responsibility for our mistakes and change our way of operating if needed.

We do not tolerate inappropriate behavior

• If we notice discrimination, harassment, or other inappropriate behavior, we will intervene.
• If you experience inappropriate behavior, please contact UniSport staff or make a report about inappropriate behaviour using this form. All contacts will be handled confidentially.
