SJJCANF Announces National Safeguarding Initiative in Alignment with SJJIF

SJJCANF is proud to formally announce our support for the SJJIF Safeguarding Initiative, a major international governance project focused on strengthening athlete protection, abuse prevention, and safe sport practices across the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community.

As the recognized national authority for sport Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Canada, SJJCANF is committed to helping build safer environments for all athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, and community members. This initiative represents an important step toward establishing stronger safeguarding education, reporting structures, and protective measures throughout federations worldwide.

Under this global initiative, each federation is encouraged to develop safeguarding knowledge, leadership, and localized structures that promote athlete welfare and community safety within their respective territories.

This announcement reflects SJJCANF’s continued commitment to governance excellence, safe sport, accountability, and the long-term development of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Canada.

We encourage all members of our community to review the full safeguarding framework and learn more about this important international initiative through the SJJIF safeguarding resource page.
