Rugby Canada is proud to endourse the Joint Statement on Physical Punishment of Children and Youth:
Sport and recreation programs touch hundreds of thousands of Canadian children, youth and parents. Violence in sports is weekly news. Parents, coaches, volunteers, administrators, and youth express concerns about it.
The Canadian Joint Statement on Physical Punishment of Children and Youth was developed by a coalition of six national organizations led by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
The document—like the three Canadian joint statements on other aspects of child health and harm before it—provides a comprehensive review of research on physical (corporal) punishment of children. The document’s conclusions and recommendations for action are based on this extensive body of research.
