The National Integrity Framework
There are four core policies which make up the National Integrity Framework. These are:
1. Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy
3. Improper Use of Drugs and Medicine Policy
4. Competition Manipulation and Sports Gambling Policy
These core policies are underpinned by the 5. Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy, which explains the process by which complaints are managed and how people who have breached a National Integrity Framework policy are held accountable.
The ABSC has also adopted two other specific policies which sit outside the NIF and which set out the standards of behaviour expected from all participants in our sport, both on-line and in person:
Breaches of both these policies are also managed via the processes set out in the Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy.
The ABSC and all the State associations have adopted identical versions of these policies to ensure that there is absolute consistency in the way integrity issues are managed around the country.
