With Spring games and Leagues completed, the Executive Committee would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our members of their obligations to comply with the Code of Behaviour (Underage). It is a policy across the GAA, LGFA, Rounders, Handball and Camogie Associations.
The Code details the levels of behaviour that the associations seek from those who are playing, coaching, officiating or attending our underage games.
The Code covers 12 different sections and includes guidance on maintaining appropriate levels of behaviour when working with children and young people, how to promote the Code and also deal with breaches of the Code, guidance on recruiting coaches and managers for underage teams, the Club child safeguarding statement, dealing with bullying of children and young people, social media guidance and how to report any concerns or allegations of abuse.
All members of Ardclough GAA agree to this policy when renewing or taking out new club membership and we would request all members to reacquaint themselves with the document.
The Code of Behaviour (Underage) is available at Child Safeguarding Policy
