Safeguarding 1 Online - Child Welfare & Protection Basic Awareness Course All Coaches, Children's Officers and Designated Liaison Persons (DLP) must first complete the 3 hour Child Welfare & Protection Basic Awareness Course. This is an on line workshop which educates participants on the implementation of best practice in protecting the welfare of children involved in sport. The Sport Ireland Code has been adopted and implemented by governing bodies of sports, clubs, local sports partnerships and community/voluntary groups on an ongoing basis since 2000. It has been encouraging to see the common sense approach to the adoption of the code at grass roots level, which has resulted in protection for young people and leaders. If young people are to stay involved in sport throughout their adult life, they need to be equipped with the fundamentals to remain involved with sport and physical activity. Equally we need to ensure that their early experiences are positive and enjoyable, irrespective of their ability, gender, social class, race, etc. It is encouraging to see adults, both volunteers and professionals, contribute to these positive experiences by acting as role models in all dealings with young people. In particular the work of Children's Officers at club and national level is instrumental in implementing the Code. We need to build on this valuable work to ensure that all young people see sport and physical activity as an important and valuable aspect of their lives that they will sustain throughout their adulthood. ON LINE INFORMATION This on line course will take place using Zoom video and audio conferencing service. If you do not have a Zoom account please download the free app from the internet prior to the course using the following address www.zoom.us . Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Sports Partnership will send you the link to the zoom meeting a few days prior to the course date for security reasons along with all the course material. Please do not share this link with another party. Only people booked onto the course will be admitted to the scheduled zoom meeting.
