Notes on Reporting
You are expressly permitted to submit reports anonymously. However, where appropriate, the investigative process may require further input and anonymous reporting may make it difficult for USA Fencing to move forward with an investigation. There is not cost or fee associated with filing a report.
By submitting the report form, you are giving permission to the FenceSafe Program staff to contact you. Out of respect for the importance of this issue and to encourage honest and effective reporting, knowingly making a false or vindictive report will not be tolerated and may be a violation of USA Fencing's Code of Conduct.
A report of abuse, misconduct or policy violation that is malicious, frivolous or made in bad faith is prohibited. Such reports will be considered a violation of the FenceSafe policies and grounds for disciplinary action. Depending on the nature of the allegation, a person making a malicious, frivolous or bad-faith report may also be subject to civil or criminal proceedings.
Concerns regarding emotional misconduct, physical misconduct, and violations of the MAAPP must be reported to USA Fencing. Concerns regarding child abuse, including sexual abuse and physical abuse, and sexual misconduct must be reported directly to the US Center for SafeSport.
