Use an Anonymous Question Box Well
Some athletes will raise a concern in writing before they will speak in a group. A question box can widen participation if you explain what happens after someone uses it. It must not become an unattended substitute for direct safeguarding channels.
When to use it
Use when inviting feedback about routines, learning or the group experience.
Put It into Practice
- Explain who reads submissions, when they are checked and where to go for urgent help. Offer an optional name field so athletes can request a direct response.
- Sort general questions from concerns needing private follow-up. Answer shared learning questions without identifying the writer or reading sensitive details aloud.
- Report what changed and what cannot change, with a brief reason. Make the box one option alongside conversations and the program's established reporting routes.
What It Can Look Like
Several athletes say instructions are hard to hear; the next practice begins with a quieter demonstration area and a visible task card.
