Code of Ethics

The Irish Sports Council and the Sports Council for Northern Ireland published a joint Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport in 2000. This major joint publication recognised the commitment of both Councils to ensure that young people are safeguarded in their participation in sport in the island of Ireland.

This Code is for the benefit of everyone involved in children's sport (children, parents / guardians, sports leaders', etc). By following the principles, policy and practical guidelines contained in the Code, sports leaders are playing their part in providing an enjoyable and safe environment in which children can lean and thrive.

The Code of Ethics training session is certified by the Irish Sports Council, takes 4 hours and is generally organised on one evening (6-10pm). There is a nominal cost of €15 per person.

If you would like to learn when the next training session is on please go to the events calendar or contact the Sports Partnership office at info@sdcsp.ie
