Concerns and Complaints Policy
This document is written to provide clear and unambiguous procedures for responding to cases of suspected poor practice and/or abuse. It aims to set out guidelines and procedures on how to take action if there are any concerns about a Child’s or Vulnerable Person’s safety and welfare, for those working in a voluntary or paid capacity with Children or Vulnerable Persons within the game. There is a responsibility on all volunteers/ staff within the game of Association football in Ireland to protect Children, Young Persons and Vulnerable Persons and report suspected abuse so that the Statutory Authorities can investigate. However, it is important to distinguish between poor practice and abuse. To view the policy, please click on the link below.
