Breaches of Integrity Policies

All alleged breaches in relation to our National Integrity Framework and associated integrity policies will be managed under the Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy, which sets out the process for resolving complaints arising from a breach of an eligible policy.

A Step-By-Step guide to the complaints process is available here: NIF Complaints Management Step-By-Step

If an alleged breach is found to be substantiated the ABSC may require the individual concerned to undertake education and awareness training or may impose a range of other sanctions depending on the nature and severity of the breach. 

SIA has issued guidelines to help organisations categorise complaints and decide on the type of sanctions to be imposed in each case.  These guidelines are available here: Guidance for Complaints Management and Sanctioning

The emphasis will always be on education to ensure that poor behaviours are not repeated, and sanctions such as bans from play will only be imposed for severe or repeat offences.
