As the national authority for martial arts, MASA’s safeguarding mission encompasses:
Protection from Harm:
Implementing proactive measures to protect all participants, especially those most vulnerable, from abuse, neglect, harassment, and exploitation.
Clear Reporting Mechanisms:
Establishing confidential and accessible processes for reporting concerns, ensuring that all members feel secure in raising issues.
Safe and Inclusive Participation:
Creating a culture where individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, and ages feel welcomed and respected, with equal opportunities to engage in martial arts safely.
MASA believes safeguarding is a shared responsibility and encourages every member, instructor, and volunteer to take an active role in maintaining a secure and supportive environment.
