Oversight bodies can close enforcement gaps by proactively notifying schools, leagues and districts when someone appears on a public sanctions list, rather than relying on third parties to check registries. SafeSport says it will send form letters and run a publicity campaign when it learns a banned coach is still working with kids, creating a de‑facto cross‑jurisdictional alert mechanism.
— This shifts a passive public registry into an active enforcement tool and sets a precedent for other safety registries (education, child welfare, licensing) to push notifications beyond their formal jurisdiction — with implications for accountability, privacy, and institutional liability.
