Category 1 (Blue) matters involve minor allegations of Prohibited Conduct and mostly (although not always) involve a mistake, misunderstanding, or an absence of intent to harm. There are rarely, if any, complicating factors.
The presence of any complicating factors may escalate a matter to a more severe Category. Complicating factors include a real risk of harm, criminality, aggravating factors (as set out in Aggravating and Mitigating Circumstances later in this document), an uncooperative Respondent or risk to the sport
Medium
Category 2 (Amber) matters allege Prohibited Conduct violations, and may involve the risk of moderate or reasonable harm, or repeated, more severe or more complex Category 1 allegations.
Category 2 matters may also allege more severe prohibited conduct violations, or complicating factors, having regard to frequency, intensity, number of reported incidents or complaints received, or where the circumstances indicate a reasonable possibility for escalation (and may require referral to law enforcement).
Amber

Category 3 (Red) matters may involve criminal behaviour and /or immediate risk of harm, and includes child abuse, sexual abuse and includes sexual misconduct, as well as serious assault, doping and corruption.
Category 3 matters may include more severe Category 1 or 2 allegations where there is the presence of significant complications. Whether a matter is more severe is determined on the specific circumstances, including the frequency, intensity, number of reported incidents or complaints received.
