Risk-X™ Sexual Violence Prevention and Education Course Meets New NCAA Policy Requirements

WASHINGTON - Sept. 17, 2017 - PRLog -- CFM Partners' Athletic and Institutional Division today confirmed that the Sexual Violence Prevention course available in Risk-X fully incorporates the guidelines and requirements of the NCAA's new Sexual Violence Prevention Education policy.

Developed by CFM Partners, Risk-X is a comprehensive, flexible sports governance and risk management solution. Launched in 2014, Risk-X is currently used by multiple NCAA programs to safeguard and educate student-athletes, coaches, trainers and staff on critical risk issues.

"Holy Cross is committed to proactively addressing NCAA governance and risk management," said Holy Cross director of athletics, Nathan Pine. "To assist us in this important area, we have partnered with CFM Partners, and we are already meeting the demands of the NCAA's new policy. Beginning in 2015, we implemented Risk-X to train our department on important issues, including concussion awareness, and last year added training on the prevention of sexual violence and hazing for our student-athletes and coaches. Together with Risk-X, we are working to continually educate our student-athletes and staff, and as a result of this commitment, we were compliant with the NCAA's Sexual Violence Prevention Education policy before it was even announced."

How to Confidently Meet Requirements of the NCAA Sexual Violence Prevention Education Policy:

Under the NCAA's new policy, member schools in all divisions are required to implement sexual violence prevention and education programs for every member of their athletics department, including student-athletes, coaches, trainers and administrative staff.

In addition, every athletics director is required to annually document, certify and report the department's compliance to both the school's president/chancellor and the NCAA. Risk-X simplifies the process of meeting all these requirements through its audience-appropriate courses (available to users 24/7 via any internet-enabled device), automated alerts and notifications, and streamlined monitoring and reporting of user activity.

Using Risk-X, athletic directors can easily generate reports for their presidents or chancellors and can rest assured that they are attesting to and providing information that is accurate and verifiable. College and university presidents and chancellors can also attest to their compliance without reservation, knowing that Risk-X has monitored, recorded and documented athletics' compliance with NCAA policy requirements.

"The reality, in collegiate athletics, is that governance and risk management are becoming increasingly complex. The challenge for administrators has become how to remain focused on developing great student-athletes and building successful programs while meeting the ever-changing requirements of this environment," said Beth Murphy, president and CEO of CFM Partners. "We designed Risk-X to deliver modern, cost-effective, and flexible capabilities to address this challenge. It's tremendously gratifying that we've been able to help our clients meet the new NCAA mandate today, as well as help them prepare to navigate tomorrow's challenges with confidence."

Risk-X is also available in a version for Recreational and Club Sports. An ideal solution for any recreation program, this version is particularly advantageous for programs that complement and/or work closely with intercollegiate athletics. All versions of Risk-X are fully compatible with each other and can be integrated, as a unified solution, to provide end-to-end risk management across all programs.
