ICP – Integrity Contact Person

An Integrity Contact Person within a sports club (club-ICP) is an easily accessible point of contact where athletes, their parents, coaches, board members, or other stakeholders can turn with a question, suspicion, or complaint about sexual, psychological, or physical inappropriate or boundary-crossing behavior.

What does an ICP do?

1 oint of contact and initial support

The club-ICP listens to the story of the reporter or person asking a question, without taking on the role of a caregiver or therapist.

2 Coordination of the action protocol and referral

The club-ICP takes every question or report seriously. The club-ICP initiates the reporting procedure and ensures that this procedure is followed: he/she, possibly assisted by an emergency team, forms an understanding of the situation, assesses the severity, and then provides the reporter with information and advice or refers them further.

In cases of suspicions or indications of serious boundary-crossing behavior, it is not the task of the club-ICP to provide help directly or to conduct an investigation. Instead, he/she refers the case to the federation’s ICP and/or professionals (support services, police and justice authorities, etc.).

3 Discretion and independance

The club-ICP can act discreetly and works independently from decisions made by the board.

Discretion is not the same as secrecy. Discretion means handling sensitive information with care and carefully considering with whom this information is shared.

4 Prevention and support of the club board

In cooperation with the club board, the club-ICP ensures that the existence and role of the club-ICP are made known and promotes awareness regarding codes of conduct. The club-ICP remains informed about, and passes on information and advice to the club board concerning physical, psychological, and sexual boundary-crossing behavior.

Boundary-crossing behavior can take various forms and may be psychological, physical, or sexual in nature. It can manifest, for example, as bullying, neglect, or other unwanted behavior.
