National Integrity Framework
Introduction to the National Integrity Framework
Deaf Sport Australia (DSA) is committed to ensuring a fair and safe sport and community environment for the participation of deaf and hard of hearing Australian’s. DSA has been working with Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) as well as the Australian Sporting Alliance for People with Disabilities (ASAPD) to manage the adoption of National Integrity Framework (NIF).
We have created summaries of each policy in Auslan for easy reference. Please see below.
In adopting the NIF, DSA ensures that the following principles are followed by all who are involved with the Framework policies.
These principles are:
*The following is the definition of people at risk:
