The Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport

Since the publication of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport in November 2000 and revised in 2006, the Irish Sports Council concentrated on the delivery of tutor training and local workshops. The Council also provided information and advice on the Code to clubs, governing bodies and related organisations.

The Sports Partnership tutors deliver the 4-hour introductory workshop, which provides information on codes of conduct, bullying, recruitment, etc. as well as child protection guidelines. By following the principles, policy and practical guidelines contained in the Code, sports leaders are playing their part in providing a safe and enjoyable environment in which children can learn and thrive.

Certificates of attendance are issued on the last hour of the course. A fee of €15 applies for administrative costs.
