​Report to the U.S. Center for SafeSport​​​​​​​​​​​
The U.S. Center for SafeSport has exclusive jurisdiction to investigate and resolve reports of the following allegations within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement: 

• Sexual misconduct or child sexual abuse

• Criminal charges involving child abuse or sexual misconduct

• Retaliation for reporting

• Violations of the Center's process

• Intimate relationships involving an imbalance of power 

Reporting methods

• Online: Use the confidential online reporting form at any time USCENTERFORSAFESPORT.ORG/REPORT-A-CONCERN

• Phone: Call 833-5US-SAFE (833-587-7233) Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time. 

Report other types of misconduct

Other forms of misconduct, such as emotional or physical misconduct, may be handled directly by your sport's national governing body (NGB). However, you also have the option to report these issues to the U.S. Center for SafeSport. These types of violations include: 

• Physical misconduct

• Emotional misconduct

• Bullying

• Hazing

• Harassment, including sexual harassment

• Violations of the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies (MAAPP) 

Who should report?

Anyone can make a report to the U.S. Center for SafeSport. You do not need to be an athlete, and you do not need to have personally experienced the abuse or misconduct. 

Important considerations

• Legal requirements: Mandatory reporters have a legal obligation to report suspected child abuse to local law enforcement within 24 hours.

• Anonymity: The online reporting form with the U.S. Center for SafeSport allows you to file reports anonymously.

• Emergency situations: If you are facing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

• Seeking support: The RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) hotline offers 24/7 support for survivors at 1-800-656-4673.
