Garda Vetting + Child Safe Guarding requirements for juvenile volunteers
In line with the GAA Code of Behaviour (Underage) and the recruitment and selection of persons to work with children, all Thomas Davis GAA coaches and mentors must:
1) Be Garda vetted through the Foireann website
2) Attend a child safeguarding workshop
3) Complete the Introduction to Gaelic Games coaching course
Vetting and training courses must be in place before taking up a role working with children at the club. As defined in the Code of Behaviour (Underage) and the Children First Act (2015), a child is any person under the age of 18 years. This includes children under the age of 18 years who may play on minor or senior teams.
Remember you don’t need any experience, there are different roles that can cater for everyone!
If you are interested in getting involved in any capacity please contact our Club PRO Stacey Byrne for further details – 0879611338.
