WHO ARE WE
Safe Sport Institute (SSI) is an iSafe Sport Safe Sport Institute (SSI) is independent knowledge and capacity-building initiative dedicated to advancing safer, more respectful, inclusive and ethical sporting environments.
Sport has the power to build confidence, character, community and opportunity. But for sport to fulfil that promise, athletes must be able to train, compete and participate in environments where their safety, dignity and wellbeing are protected.
Safe Sport Institute works to make the principles and practices of Safe Sport accessible to everyone in the sporting ecosystem—athletes, parents, coaches, teachers, administrators, officials, medical and support professionals, sports organisations and institutions.
Our work focuses on building awareness, developing practical knowledge, bringing together evidence and global best practices, and encouraging a culture in which safety and respect become an integral part of everyday sport.

-
Knowledge and educational resources on athlete safety, safeguarding, wellbeing, integrity and inclusion.

-

SUPPORTED BY AVINYUM FOUNDATION
Safe Sport Institute is supported by Avinyum Foundation, a technology-focused not-for-profit think tank working at the intersection of technology, public interest and nation-building.
The Foundation's support enables SSI to explore how knowledge, technology, research and collaborative platforms can contribute to stronger and more resilient sporting ecosystems.
SSI is being developed with a long-term vision: to help make safe sport a shared culture and everyday practice across India.
OUR BELIEF
Every athlete deserves to feel safe, respected and protected.
We believe that creating safer sport is a shared responsibility. It requires awareness from athletes, commitment from coaches and parents, responsible leadership from sporting organisations, and a wider culture that places dignity, wellbeing, inclusion and integrity at the heart of sport.
Safe Sport begins with understanding. It grows through practice. And it becomes sustainable when it becomes part of the culture of sport.
