Project CARE (Census of Athlete Rights Experiences) is the first global study to look at athlete's experiences in sport to understand whether and how these rights were protected.
ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL
ATHLETE AND PART OF YOUR
PLAYER ASSOCIATION OR UNION?
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WAS — WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU.
The survey is anonymous. We know this might not be an easy subject for you but know that it will be worth it. Your answers will form the recommendations that will change sports for the better. So that future generations of athletes do not have to face the same challenges. Play your part in making sport safer for children.
We understand some questions might be distressing for some participants and could bring up emotional issues or memories. If you feel you need emotional support, please contact your Player Development Manager or refer to the support services available free of charge in different localities around the world below.
