NSC, Office of the DPP to host Criminal Law and Sexual Offences Act meeting tomorrow
Kaieteur Sports– In a proactive move to foster a safer and more responsible sporting environment, the National Sports Commission (NSC), in collaboration with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), will be hosting a meeting tomorrow, Saturday, March 22, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall from 10:00 a.m.
The meeting is a mandatory engagement for all executive members of National Federations and Associations.
The focus will be on criminal law, with a special emphasis on the Sexual Offences Act. Discussions will be led by Assistant DPP, Tiffini Lyken, and the DPP’s Communications Officer, Liz Rahaman, who will provide essential insights into legal matters affecting the sporting landscape.
The initiative is particularly significant as it coincides with International Women’s Day and Women’s Month observances, reinforcing the collective commitment to raising awareness and strengthening the fight against domestic violence, including sexual violence.
Notably, the meeting will address critical issues surrounding the protection of women and children, ensuring that all stakeholders within the sporting fraternity are well-informed and equipped to contribute to a safe and just sporting community.
With increasing global attention on safeguarding individuals in sports, the forum presents an invaluable opportunity for sports administrators to understand their legal obligations and responsibilities.
The discussions will highlight preventative measures, legal repercussions, and the role of sports organizations in fostering a culture of respect and accountability.
The NSC urges all invitees to make every effort to attend this essential meeting, as the insights gained will not only enhance governance within sports but also contribute to the overall well-being and security of athletes and officials alike.
