LAUNCH OF NEW CODE OF BEHAVIOUR FOR SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN

01 February 2019

In accordance with our governance and child safeguarding responsibilities we wish to draw your attention to the recently launched Code of Behaviour (Underage). 

This is the Association's policy document in relation to the minimum levels of good practice we require of those participating in or assisting with our games and other activities for children and young people.
 
It is worth noting that the Code is a joint Code agreed with the GAA, LGFA, Rounders, Handball and Camogie Associations and it supersedes any other Codes that may have previously been devised at Club or County level.
 
In the event of a dispute relating to adherence to the Code we must be in a position to confirm that reasonable grounds were undertaken so as to ensure that our membership have been made aware as to the existence of the Code and its contents.

Therefore a link to the code as been provided below.

Anyone who will be involved with coaching mentoring or managing children should make themselves aware of the contents of this document to ensure best practice is adhered to.
