INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY

Formal complaints involving individuals who are not UCCMS (CSSP) participants can be submitted to Water Polo Canada’s Independent Third Party, ITP Sport, at:
https://app.integritycounts.ca/org/itpsport

If you are unsure whether the respondent is a UCCMS (CSSP) participant, you may submit your complaint to either the CSSP or ITP Sport. The matter will be directed to the appropriate organization.

The Independent Third Party may:

• Provide confidential guidance to individuals considering a complaint
• Refer individuals to legal, mental health, or other support resources
• Review and assess complaints for admissibility under WPC policies and the Code of Conduct
• Determine the appropriate jurisdiction (CSSP, WPC, provincial/territorial body, or club)
• Appoint investigators or discipline panels, as required
• Act as an independent point of contact for all parties involved

The availability of the Independent Third Party does not prevent individuals from addressing concerns at the club, provincial/territorial, or Water Polo Canada level, where appropriate and if they feel comfortable doing so.
