The NCCP SafeSport training will be mandatory for all coaches in the province. Please note, this is a multi-sport course, and will be applied to all sport. If you have already completed it as a requirement for another sport, you will not have to take it again.
Associations will also be responsible for ensuring their coaches have completed Criminal Record Checks. BNS will be communicating further information on tracking and supports in our March update.
