Integrity and security

The Québec Safety-Integrity Program (PSIQ) for recreation and sports is an initiative by the Québec government aimed at supporting certain organizations in the development and implementation of concrete measures to improve the health, safety, and well-being of citizens in recreational and sports settings. Through financial assistance, this program strengthens actions that positively impact the protection of individuals' integrity and promotes the transmission of safety and respect values within physical activities.

The project in question primarily consists of disseminating video capsules that address safe and respectful interactions between instructors/trainers and participants. These videos aim to raise awareness and educate various stakeholders in the sports and recreation fields about the essential principles to be followed in the context of their responsibilities. The goal is to ensure that these professionals—whether they are coaches, instructors, teachers, trainers, referees, lifeguards, or any other supervisory personnel—know, transmit, and rigorously apply these principles in their daily practices.

 

The specific objectives of this project are as follows:

Awareness of safety and integrity: Ensure that supervisory personnel understand the importance of safety and integrity principles, can incorporate them into their practices, and effectively transmit them to participants. This includes managing behavior, preventing risks, and adopting best practices in interactions.

Use of safety-compliant equipment: Promote the use of appropriate equipment that meets recognized safety standards to ensure the protection of participants throughout their recreational or sports activities.

Promotion of healthy and ethical behaviors: Influence participants, parents, stakeholders, and even spectators by encouraging them to adopt responsible, respectful, healthy, and safe behaviors. This creates an environment where everyone feels safe and respected, whether they are active participants or spectators.

Prevention of abuse and violence: Protect the integrity of individuals in their recreational and sports activities by implementing concrete strategies to prevent situations such as abuse, harassment, neglect, and violence. This aspect aims to guarantee a healthy and safe environment, free from harmful behaviors.

 

In summary, the PSIQ video capsule project seeks to strengthen safety and integrity practices in sports and recreational environments by training and raising awareness among all involved parties to ensure a healthy, respectful, and secure framework for all. Enjoy watching!

Activities

Ethics, Diversity, and Inclusion Activities : The instructors will guide candidates through interactive discussions and practical scenarios aimed at promoting diversity, inclusion, and ethics in recreational and sports environments. They will address common situations where understanding cultural differences, equal opportunities, and mutual respect are essential to creating a healthy and welcoming environment for all. Candidates will have the opportunity to reflect on their attitudes and behaviors and identify concrete actions to integrate these values into their professional practices.

Code of Conduct Activities : As part of the courses, instructors will lead workshops where candidates will explore the principles of the code of conduct through real-life scenarios. These activities will aim to raise awareness among candidates about the importance of acting respectfully, responsibly, and professionally at all times. They will learn to identify appropriate behaviors and respond to situations of non-compliance, ensuring the safety and well-being of participants while maintaining a positive and respectful atmosphere.
