Respect in Sport for Parents

Excerpt from the HEO site:

Beginning with the 2015-16 minor hockey season parents of players in HEO jurisdiction will be required to take the Respect in Sport Parent Program. The program is taken online at a cost of $12.00 and a minimum of 1 parent from each family with players at the IP or Novice level will need to take the program.

NOTE - The Respect in Sport Parent Program differs from the Respect in Sport Leader/Coach Program. Therefore parents that have taken the Leader/Coach Program must still take the Parent Program.

Respect Group was incorporated on April 5th, 2004 by co-founders, Sheldon Kennedy and Wayne McNeil, to pursue their common passion; the prevention of abuse, bullying and harassment.

Respect Group has enlisted internationally acclaimed curriculum partner, the Canadian Red Cross (RespectED), and created a best-in-class e-learning platform, designed for mass consumption. Expert content and a professional on-line certification model round out Respect Group’s fully outsourced risk management/behavior change solutions for sport, schools and the workplace.

Their Mission is to empower people to recognize and prevent abuse, bullying and harassment through interactive, online certification.

Their Vision is to eliminate abuse, bullying and harassment by inspiring a global culture of respect.
