Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Training

Tipperary Sports Partnership is facilitating a Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Basic Awareness training.

The course is aimed at sports leaders, children’s officers, parents or anyone working with young people in sport. A central goal for all those involved in sport for young people is to provide a safe, positive and nurturing environment where children can develop and enhance their physical and social skills.

Promoting a child-centred environment should go hand in hand with identifying and eliminating practices that impact negatively on safe and enjoyable participation in sport for young people.

The next series workshops will be delivered by Sport Ireland tutors via Zoom on:

- February 1st from 6.00pm-9.00pm

- February 8th from 6.00pm-9.00pm

- March 1st from 6.00pm-9.00pm

- March 8th from 6.00pm-9.00pm

- April 19th from 6.00pm-9.00pm

- April 26th from 6.00pm-9.00pm
