We want to join Sport Ireland to help celebrate all the positive work the National Children’s Officers and Safeguarding teams are completing as part of their roles within their sports and the sector as a whole. We will be sharing some of the positive news from all around paddlesports, as well as great resources and 2 online ‘Ask Me Anything’ Workshops with National Childrens Officer, Heather Wilson. These online sessions are a brilliant opportunity to ask any and all questions you have about safeguarding in your club or discipline. These free online sessions take place on the 25th & 27th October form 7-8pm –

As well as these sessions we have some fantastic resources to help you make your club the safest and most enjoyable place possible for our young paddlers. These are a handy checklist for ensuring your club has all the essentials in place to be safeguarding compliant, and a factsheet answering all your Garda Vetting questions.
