Online Safeguarding 1 Workshop

Safeguarding 1 - Child Welfare & Protection Basic Awareness Course

All Coaches, Children's Officers and Designated Liaison Persons (DLP) must first complete the 3 hour Child Welfare & Protection Basic Awareness Course. This course educates participants on the implementation of best practice in protecting the welfare of children involved in sport.

Participants must be 18 years or over, however with Parental Consent the age group of 16-18 can attend. Please contact Wicklow LSP before hand.

The CEO of Sport Ireland John Treacy has written to all CEO’s of sport reminding them of the importance of remaining vigilant at all times when dealing with children and young people. The CEO’s were also informed that as stated by Minister Griffin, in order to ensure the highest level of quality and consistency of delivery, all training for safeguarding awareness etc…. must be through the Sport Ireland training programmes. If NGBs have additional messages to deliver this can be achieved through the addition of a short sport specific module as a follow up to the Sport Ireland training.

Please ensure information provided for each attendee is correct for certification purposes.
