Help make Safeguarding a priority in Irish Football

Help make Safeguarding a priority in Irish Football

Everyone involved in Irish Football has a responsibility to call out inappropriate behaviour and make Safeguarding a priority.

In football, everyone should feel safe. Strict safeguarding policies are in place along with mandatory Garda Vetting and Safeguarding training for all coaches and volunteers.

There are no grey areas when it comes to proper conduct and acceptable behaviour. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, report it.

Safety and welfare are key priorities for the Association with strong safeguards in place to help prevent inappropriate behaviours happening. There are also robust structures to provide a safe environment for all players, coaches, officials and administrators across all teams and programmes.

All safeguarding concerns that are brought to the attention of the Association are dealt with as a matter of priority and anyone who may have experienced abuse in Irish football is encouraged to contact our Child Welfare & Safeguarding Department by emailing [email protected] 

There is an additional confidential service through Raise A Concern on 01 6107929 or by emailing [email protected]
