The findings indicated that a multi-faceted approach embracing multiple advancement strategies was reportedly essential for progressing safe sport. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 sport administrators from different sport and coaching organisations to elicit views on how best to advance safe sport. Given the leadership positions sport administrators hold, understanding their perspectives may be helpful in informing a framework to guide the development and implementation of safe sport strategies. As such, the purpose of the study was to explore sport administrators' perspectives of how to advance safe sport. Without a consistent conceptual framework for safe sport, prevention and intervention initiatives may not be fully realised. However, we posit that these endeavours are occurring without a conceptual framework about what constitutes safe sport or how to achieve it. Numerous international high-profile cases of athlete abuses have led to efforts to advance what has been termed “Safe Sport.” Sport and coaching organisations are urgently designing and implementing policies, procedures and programmes to advance a culture of safe sport.
