Athlete-Protection Protocol
MANDATORY / NOT YET VERIFIEDPublic blueprint · APS / 001 / 2026
ATHLETE PROTECTION SYSTEM
Protect the young person before judging the pathway. A human-led interrupt layer inside Athlete Trinity.
People protection doctrine · Athlete Trinity
Protect the young person before judging the pathway.
Selection can wait. Safety, authority and the athlete's own voice cannot.
- 01 / Authority firstName who can decide.
If the athlete is a minor, name guardian authority, the athlete's voice and the responsible human decision-maker.
- 02 / Whole lifeWrite the real duties.
Set school, welfare, travel, data and provider duties before selection or payment.
- 03 / Support ≠ controlFund protection without buying the choice.
When JP has a real role, it may fund an agreed early safeguard. Payment never controls the adviser, consent or decision.
- 04 / Clear boundarySay what review does not mean.
Review is not recruitment, a club offer, contract, visa, programme place or guaranteed outcome.
01 / Position
Notice. Pause. Named human handoff.
A risk signal pauses the ordinary process and moves responsibility to a named person.
Athletes and sport across every discipline.
Language evaluation + psychological evaluation + sport-specific evaluation
Three specialist assessments create separate evidence before becoming one athlete development route.
Protection Decision Trinity
Representative + former-athlete psychology counsellor + lawyer
This case-specific human team can pause and redirect work. It does not score the athlete's full performance.
The all-arts sibling under the same Trinity System. A public blueprint does not imply adoption or active availability.
02 / Triage
The concern sets the speed.
The protection level takes priority over sales or programme speed.
Continue only within the named scope. Record the route and the person responsible.
Pause progression until a named, accountable human has reviewed the concern.
Stop the ordinary route. Use the approved safeguarding or emergency route for that country and case.
02B / Crisis interrupt
Life before performance, contract, funding or publicity.
A person's life and immediate safety come before sporting progress, selection, a contract, funding, reputation or publicity.
Notice early → Interrupt pressure → Connect & follow up
Notice early
Take words, behaviour changes and withdrawal seriously without turning them into a score.
Interrupt pressure
Pause training, selection, contract, funding and publicity pressure. Do not make continued participation the price of help.
Connect & follow up
Connect the person to an accountable nearby human and the appropriate local professional route, then confirm that the handoff happened.
This site does not diagnose or score suicide risk.
A digital intake may organise a message and show a prepared route. It does not diagnose, assess or score suicide risk, decide whether someone is safe, or replace direct human contact and qualified care.
Immediate danger: do not use a form.
If someone may be in immediate danger, use the official local emergency service now and contact a trusted person who is physically nearby. Do not wait for this site or a form.
This site is not an emergency, clinical or crisis service. It offers no guarantee of response time, confidentiality, anonymity or outcome.

06 / Public boundary
This blueprint is not an emergency service.
Athlete Protection System is not an emergency service, regulator, ombudsman, tribunal, clinical service, law firm, insurer, union, agent or manager. It is not a guaranteed anonymous or confidential reporting channel. If someone may be in immediate danger, use the official emergency or safeguarding route where that person is located.
