Driven by Respect: the FIA sets new standards in Safeguarding

Safety news

The safety and wellbeing of all participants in the world of motorsport is of paramount importance, with the world governing body of motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), reflecting this in the launch of the new FIA Safeguarding Policy and Regulations.

Following a collaborative drafting process across the FIA and alongside ASNs and other global sporting bodies, the new policy has been launched with the aim to promote the well-being and safety of all individuals involved.

Unanimously approved during the recent World Motor Sport Council, these clear guidelines, procedures, and support mechanisms will create an environment where individuals are empowered to speak up, seek assistance, and act against any instance of abuse, harassment, or exploitation.

Already enshrined in the FIA regulations, the policy is founded on the key principles of:

  • Welfare of the individual
  • Equality and inclusion
  • Accountability
  • Confidentiality

Alongside this new policy the FIA will provide comprehensive guidelines and assets to all ASNs, encouraging them to introduce their own accessible safeguarding policies and ensuring widespread coverage within the sport of corresponding policies and regulations.

FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, commented on the new policy saying: “Everyone involved in the world of motorsport deserves the right to feel safe, and as the governing body we have a duty of care to protect this right.

“This new policy is yet another step forward in our commitment to our competitors and colleagues and I would like to thank all those involved in this crucial task.”

The policy provides clarity around the rules of safeguarding, alongside reporting, investigation, resolution, sanctions, and confidentiality, ensuring a unified response to any issues which are raised.
