Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Training

Tipperary Sports Partnership is facilitating a Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Basic Awareness training. The course is aimed at sports leaders, children’s officers, parents or anyone working with young people in sport. A central goal for all those involved in sport for young people is to provide a safe, positive and nurturing environment where children can develop and enhance their physical and social skills.
Promoting a child-centred environment should go hand in hand with identifying and eliminating practices that impact negatively on safe and enjoyable participation in sport for young people.

The next series workshops will be delivered by Sport Ireland tutors via Zoom on:

February 7th from 6.00pm -9.00pm
February 14th from 6.00pm-9.00pm
March 7th from 6.00pm – 9.00pm
March 14th from 6.00 – 9.00pm
April 4th from 6.00-9.00pm
April 11th from 6.00 -9.00pm

The training will enable Children’s Officers/Sports Leaders to:

Implement best practice in protecting the welfare of participants
Create a child-centred environment within the sports club
List categories of abuse and some indicators associated with abuse
Make an appropriate response to a disclosure
Make a report to designated officer or appropriate Statutory Authorities
