Child Welfare and Protection course hosted by Tipperary Sports Partnership

Tipperary Sports Partnership is facilitating a Child Welfare and Protection in Sport Basic Awareness training course.

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 the following Mondays -

January 15 from 6pm -9pm 

January 22 from 6pm-9pm 

January 29 from 6pm-9pm 

February 12 from 6pm – 9pm 

February 19 from 6pm – 9pm 

February 26 from 6pm – 9pm. 

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 a designated officer or appropriate Statutory Authorities
