As part of SSA's commitment to providing quality service and value, we are requesting your feedback through the RAMP Satisfaction survey. This survey gives us a chance to hear from you and learn what the system has done well in this past season, and what we need to work on in the year to come!

 

Please answer the questions as honestly and constructively as you can. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

 

RAMP Satisfaction: We ask that only one survey be submitted on behalf of each Member Organization/entity with a RAMP registration site.

 

Deadline: September 30, 2022 

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey! 

Amendments to Article 12 of the Section 13 Risk Management Policy were approved by the Board on June 26th and have been posted to the SSA website. These changes aim to clarify the screening process for staff/volunteers and give members clear direction on what level of record check is required for individuals attempting to join an organization.

 

In particular, there are legislative changes that impact policy on who and when individuals need Vulnerable Sector Checks which has been updated.

 

We should note that discussions regarding acceptable screening policies are currently being given by a number of organizations both nationally and provincially. SSA will monitor screening policy discussions and may amend this policy based on industry standards and legal advice in the future.

 

Should you have any questions about the amendments contact Steven Porter, s.porter@sasksoccer.com.
