Art. 1 – Purpose

1. This document regulates the tools for the prevention and fight against all forms of abuse, harassment, gender-based violence or discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, religion, personal beliefs, disability, age or sexual orientation or on the grounds set out in Legislative Decree no. 198/2006 for the Members (Tesserati), particularly if minors, within the Moto Club.
2. A fundamental right of the Members is to be treated with respect and dignity, and to be protected against any form of abuse, harassment, gender-based violence and any other condition of discrimination, as provided by Legislative Decree no. 198/2006, regardless of ethnicity, personal beliefs, disability, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, language, political opinion, religion, financial status, birth, physical, intellectual, relational or sporting condition. The right to physical and psychological health and well-being of the Members is an absolutely prevailing value even compared to sporting results.
3. This document constitutes the set of Guidelines and Principles to which the Moto Club and all FMI-affiliated Members at the same Moto Club must conform in order to pursue:
   1. the promotion of the rights referred to in the previous paragraph;
   2. the promotion of an inclusive culture and environment that ensure the dignity and respect of all Members, especially minors, and guarantee equality and fairness, as well as enhance diversity;
   3. the awareness of the Members regarding their rights, duties, obligations, responsibilities and protections;
   4. the identification and implementation by the Moto Club of appropriate safeguarding measures, procedures and policies, also in compliance with the recommendations of the FMI Safeguarding Officer, that reduce the risks of rights-violating conduct, especially towards minor Members;
   5. the prompt, effective and confidential handling of reports of abuse, violence and discrimination and protection of whistle-blowers;
   6. the information of the Members, including minors, about prevention and counter-measures for abuse, violence and discrimination, and in particular about the procedures for reporting them;
   7. the participation of the Moto Club and Members in initiatives organized by the FMI within the safeguarding policies adopted;
   8. the proactive involvement of all those who participate in any role or capacity in the sports activity in the implementation of the Moto Club’s safeguarding measures, procedures and policies.
4. This document implements the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 36 of 28 February 2021 and Legislative Decree no. 39 of 28 February 2021, the provisions issued by the National Board of CONI, the Fundamental Principles approved by the Permanent Observatory of CONI for safeguarding policies, as well as the „Regulation for the prevention and countering of abuse, violence and discrimination against Members“ of the Federazione Motociclistica Italiana (FMI) and its Guidelines.

Art. 2 – Scope of application

1. The subjects required to comply with this document are:
   • Members and licensed FMI individuals under the Federal Statute and the Federal Organic Regulation, at the Moto Club;
   • all those who have work or volunteer relationships with the Moto Club;
   • all those who, in any capacity, have relationships with the Moto Club.

Art. 3 – Relevant Conduct

1. The following behaviours are considered relevant for the purposes of this document:
   1. Psychological abuse: any intentional and unwanted act including isolation, confinement, lack of respect, domination, verbal aggression, intimidation or any other behaviour which may negatively affect the Member’s sense of identity, dignity and self-esteem or his/her emotions, cognitions, values and beliefs, or which is capable of intimidating, disturbing or altering the Member’s serenity, even if perpetrated via digital tools.
   2. Physical abuse: any deliberate and unwanted act, committed or attempted (including beatings, punches, assaults, suffocation, slaps, kicks or throwing objects), capable in a real or potential sense of causing, directly or indirectly, or intentionally fabricating, harm to health, trauma, physical injuries or impairing the healthy and serene development of a minor. Such an act may also consist of forcing an athlete to carry out (for better sporting performance) inappropriate physical activity such as administering training loads unsuited to age, gender, physique or ability, or forcing athletes who are ill, injured or otherwise in pain to train, as well as misuse, excessive, illicit or arbitrary use of sports equipment. Within this scope are also behaviours that promote alcohol consumption or doping practices, or otherwise prohibited by current regulations.
   3. Harassment: any unwanted and unwelcome act or behaviour of a sexual nature, whether verbal, non-verbal or physical, that causes serious annoyance, discomfort or disturbance. Such acts or behaviours may also include inappropriate body language, explicit sexual remarks or allusions, as well as unwanted or non-welcomed sexual requests or suggestions, or telephone calls, messages, letters or any other form of sexual-content communication, even with an intimidating, degrading or humiliating effect.
   4. Sexual abuse: any behaviour or conduct of a sexual nature, without contact or with contact, considered unwanted, or whose consent is coerced, manipulated, not given or denied. It may also consist of forcing a Member to engage in unwanted sexual acts, or observing the Member in inappropriate conditions or contexts.
   5. Gender-based violence: all forms of violence from psychological and physical to sexual, from stalking to discriminatory acts based on sex.
   6. Bullying (or cyber-bullying, if conducted online): any offensive and/or aggressive behaviour by one or more persons, personally, even through social networks or other communication tools, whether isolated or repeated over time, against one or more Members with the aim of exerting power or dominance over them. Such behaviour may also consist of repeated acts of coercion and intimidation intended to cause discomfort, insecurity, fear, exclusion or isolation (including humiliation, criticism regarding physical appearance, verbal threats, even related to sporting performance, dissemination of unverified news, threats of physical reprisals or damage to possessions).
   7. Hazing (“nonnismo”): any conduct involving a humiliating and/or dangerous initiation of new members by veteran members of the same group.
   8. Religious-based abuse: the prevention, conditioning or limitation of the right to freely profess one’s religious faith and to exercise its worship in private or in public, provided it is not a rite against public decency.
   9. Abuse of corrective means: exceeding the legitimate use of corrective and disciplinary power by a subject over the offended person, exercised in a manner that is inappropriate or intended to pursue an interest other than that for which such power is conferred by the federation’s regulations.
   10. Negligence (“negligence”): the failure of a Member, including because of duties derived from his/her office, rank or role, who, having knowledge of one of the events regulated by this Regulation, omits to intervene and/or report to the Safeguarding Officer or to the Federal Prosecutor, thereby causing damage, permitting damage or creating an imminent risk of damage.
   11. Neglect (“neglect”): the failure to meet fundamental physical, medical, educational or emotional needs.
   12. Other discriminatory behaviour: any other behaviour aimed at achieving discrimination based on ethnicity, colour, physical characteristics, gender, socio-economic status, sporting performance or athletic ability, religion, personal beliefs, disability, age or sexual orientation.
2. Also considered relevant conduct are all those behaviours that hinder the achievement of the purposes set out in Art. 1.

Art. 4 – Principles

   1. Ensure an environment, both on and off the track, inspired by the principles of equality and protection of freedom, dignity and inviolability of the person;
   2. Treat every Member with attention, commitment, respect and dignity, guaranteeing equal conditions without distinction of age, ethnicity, social status, political opinion, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other;
   3. Pay due attention to any situations of discomfort, perceived or known even indirectly, with particular attention to circumstances involving minors;
   4. Report without delay any circumstance of concern to those exercising parental or guardianship responsibility or to the persons responsible for supervision;
   5. Consult with the Moto Club’s Responsible for Abuse, Violence and Discrimination if there is a suspicion that relevant conduct under this document may occur;

   7. Plan and manage the activity, including during travel, by identifying organisational and logistical solutions aimed at preventing situations of discomfort and/or inappropriate behaviour;

   9. Prevent, during training and competition, all behaviors and conducts described above through awareness-raising and monitoring actions;
   10. Clearly explain to users of the space where motorcycling activity is taking place that remarks, comments and evaluations not strictly related to sporting performance and not included in this document may harm the dignity, decency and sensitivity of the person;

Annex A
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE PROTECTION OF MINORS AND FOR THE PREVENTION OF HARASSMENT, GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND ANY OTHER CONDITION OF DISCRIMINATION
Every Member is required to maintain a sporting environment that is respectful, fair and free from any form of abuse, violence and discrimination. A fundamental right of every Member is to be treated with respect and dignity, and to be protected from any form of abuse, harassment, gender-based violence and any other discrimination as provided by Legislative Decree no. 198/2006, regardless of ethnicity, personal beliefs, disability, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, language, political opinion, religion, financial condition, birth, physical, intellectual, relational or sporting condition. The right to the psycho-physical health and well-being of each Member is an absolutely prevailing value even compared to sporting results. Discrimination of any kind is not allowed, whether based on race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, language, religion, political opinion or other, nationality or social origin, economic status, birth or other nature. In case of violation of the rules provided for the prevention and fight against all forms of abuse, harassment, gender-based violence or discrimination, the sanction regime applicable will differ depending on the role the subject holds in the FMI according to Article 5 of the so-called “Safeguarding Regulation” of the FMI.

SPECIFIC RULES OF CONDUCT WHEN WORKING WITH MINORS
When activity is carried out with minors it is necessary to:

• organise the activity so as to minimise risk;
• be visible by other adults, as far as possible, while activities with minors are taking place;
• allow, where possible and in compliance with safety requirements, access to the facilities during training and trial sessions to those exercising parental or guardianship responsibility or supervising persons;
• obtain and retain written authorisation from those exercising parental or guardianship responsibility if single training sessions and/or sessions in locations not usually used for sports activity are scheduled;
• refrain from the use, reproduction or dissemination of images or videos of minor Members, except for educational and formative purposes, obtaining the necessary authorisations from those exercising parental or guardianship responsibility or supervising persons;
• refrain from creating situations of intimacy with the minor Member;
• communicate and share with the minor Member what kind of relationship is to be expected with technicians and other persons participating in the Moto Club and encourage them to report any concern;
• establish a balanced relationship with those exercising parental or guardianship responsibility or supervising persons;
• promote the minor’s abilities and competences and discuss with them their rights, what is acceptable and what is not, what they can do if any problem arises;
• maintain a high personal and professional profile;
• treat minors fairly, honestly, with dignity and respect;
• encourage minors’ participation so as to also develop their self-protection capacity.

Signs of discomfort and distress in minors
By way of example, the following are considered indicators of discomfort and distress:

• sudden and unjustified changes of behaviour (for example, reduced concentration, withdrawing, becoming clingy, depressed, fearful, mood swings, reluctance to train or participate in competitions) which may be accompanied by drops in sporting performance;
• eating disorders;
• evident physical signs or sudden behavioural changes or direct and/or indirect verbal messages of distress;
• injuries such as unexplained bruises or suspected, cuts or burns, especially if on parts of the body not normally prone to such injuries and which are not compatible with motorcycling activity;
• an injury for which the explanation does not seem plausible;
• the minor describing what may appear to be an act of abuse in which they were involved;
• distrust towards coaches, attendants, officials or other adults with whom the minor should have a good trust relationship;
• neglect and frequent loss of personal items.
  The presence of one or more of these indicators does not itself define proof of the presence of abuse, violence or harassment. Such elements must also be assessed taking into account the typical conduct of minors related to certain phases of development and growth, such as those of pre-adolescence and adolescence, when sudden changes in mood and behaviour often occur in the absence of abuse, violence and/or harassment.

PROCEDURES FOR SELECTION OF SPORTS OPERATORS
The Moto Club, when establishing an employment relationship – regardless of form – with operators tasked with direct and regular contact with minors requests in advance a copy of the criminal record certificate in accordance with applicable law.

BEHAVIOUR TO BE ADOPTED IN THE PRESENCE OF POSSIBLE RELEVANT CONDUCT
All Members must remain vigilant in identifying situations that may pose risks to others and must report any concern, suspicion or certainty about possible abuse, mistreatment, violence or discrimination against others to the Responsible for Abuse, Violence and Discrimination of the Moto Club or the FMI Safeguarding Officer.
Anyone who suspects relevant conduct may consult with the Responsible for Abuse, Violence and Discrimination of their Moto Club or directly with the FMI Safeguarding Officer.
In case minors are involved, it may be appropriate to promptly report any signs of distress to the person exercising parental or guardianship responsibility. Situations may however occur in which collaboration with the same person exercising parental or guardianship responsibility could prove insufficient or even harmful: for example if one parent were responsible for the abuse or if they proved incapable of dealing adequately with the situation. In such cases it would be advisable to consult the Responsible for Abuse, Violence and Discrimination of the Moto Club.

CONFIDENTIALITY
The Responsible for Abuse, Violence and Discrimination of the Moto Club and the FMI Safeguarding Officer are subject to the confidentiality obligations provided by the FMI Safeguarding Regulation. The identity of the whistle-blower cannot be revealed to persons other than those competent to receive or act on the reports. The protection covers not only the name of the whistle-blower but also all elements of the report from which the whistle-blower’s identity might, even indirectly, be inferred.
