Safeguarding 2 Club Children's Officer Workshop
2025-09-18 18:30 - 21:30 | Zoom Online
Recommendations from Sport Ireland are that every club involved with children and young people should appoint a Club Children’s Officer.

They are the link between the children and the adults in the club and also take responsibility for monitoring and reporting to the Club Management Committee on how club policy etc. impacts on children and their Sports Leaders.
The Club Children’s Officer should have the following functions:

To promote awareness of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport in Ireland within the club and particularly among the children and their parents/guardians. This could be achieved by the production of information leaflets, the establishment of children’s/age-group specific notice boards and by regular information meetings for the children and their parents/guardians.
To influence policy and practice within the club in order to prioritise children’s needs.
To provide an accessible resource to children through the creation of forums.

It is essential that those who wish to attend the Safeguarding 2 Club Children’s Officer (CCO) Training have attended the Safeguarding 1 Awareness/Child Protection Training workshop.
It is recommended to have at least one Club Children’s Officer per club or if there is a large number of both boys and girls in the club, to have two Club Children’s Officers – one male and one female.
Cost: The cost for this course is €25 per person for clubs in Meath, for participants outside Meath the cost is €40 per person.
