The third part of the ISC Child Welfare & Protection Training Programme is the Designated Liaison Person workshop.
Every club/organisation should designate a person to be responsible for dealing with any concerns about the protection of children. The Designated Liaison Person is responsible for reporting allegations or suspicions of child abuse to TUSLA Child and Family Agency and/or An Garda Siochána.

The organisation’s child protection policy and procedures should include the name and contact details of the Designated Liaison Person and the responsibilities attached to the role.
A person appointed to the Designated Liaison Person position in a club must have completed the Basic Awareness Workshop in Child Welfare & Protection and should complete the NEW Designated Liaison Person 3 hour workshop.
It is essential that those who wish to attend the Safeguarding 3 Designated Liaison Person (DLP) Training have attended the Safeguarding 1 Child Welfare & Protection Workshop.
A club may appoint the same person to both the CCO and DLP positions however best practice advises that they are kept as separate roles.
Cost: The cost for this course is €20 per person for clubs in Meath, for participants outside Meath the cost is €30 per person.

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.

Project Long Game
2023-01-28 09:30 - 13:00 | Solstice Arts Centre, Navan, Railway Street, Navan, Meath, Ireland
Meath LSP are delighted to be part of this exciting new initiative promoting sustainability in sport. Sports clubs have a high level influence on their local community and do serve as role models within their communities. Ensuring that your club is more sustainable can have the potential to inspire your club members and the local community to become more conscious of their impact not only within their club but on the local environment.
Given that sustainability is one of the key issues facing us on a global scale, affecting a wide range of social, environmental, and economic issues; these are also significant issues for the sports community, both in terms of day-to-day operations and duties to our young people and future generations. Sport has an unrivalled ability to encourage and inspire enormous numbers of people whether that is on a local, national or international level.
Our “Sustainability in Sport” information morning on the 28th January will showcase to local clubs how they can make their club more sustainable and in doing so, meeting some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Speakers in attendance will present local case studies as well as presenting what is happening on a national/international stage. Why not come along on the morning, hear how other clubs are managing their approach to sustainability and the benefits they have accrued from that approach?

Safeguarding 3 Designated Liaison Person (DLP) Workshop
2022-11-17 18:30 - 21:30 | Zoom Online
The third part of the ISC Child Welfare & Protection Training Programme is the Designated Liaison Person workshop.
Every club/organisation should designate a person to be responsible for dealing with any concerns about the protection of children. The Designated Liaison Person is responsible for reporting allegations or suspicions of child abuse to TUSLA Child and Family Agency and/or An Garda Siochána. It is recommended that this person is a senior club person. However, if there is difficulty identifying a separate individual to take this role, the Club Children’s Officer can be appointed as Designated Liaison Person once the club/organisation is clear about the responsibilities of each role. The organisation’s child protection policy and procedures should include the name and contact details of the Designated Liaison Person and the responsibilities attached to the role.
A person appointed to the Designated Liaison Person position in a club must have completed the Basic Awareness Workshop in Child Welfare & Protection and should complete the NEW Designated Liaison Person 3 hour workshop.
It is essential that those who wish to attend the Safeguarding 3 Designated Liaison Person (DLP) Training have attended the Safeguarding 1 Child Welfare & Protection Workshop.
A club may appoint the same person to both the CCO and DLP positions however best practice advises that they are kept as separate roles.
Cost: The cost for this course is €20 per person for clubs in Meath, for participants outside Meath the cost is €30 per person.
To book: Please contact Lynn on 046-9067337 or email lynn.oreilly@meathcoco.ie
*A laptop/ipad/smart phone along with a good internet connection is required for this course.
