The Association and its sister organisations recently launched the updated online version of our Gaelic Games Child Safeguarding Policy (previously named Code of Behaviour (Underage). This has been agreed between the GAA, the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, the Camogie Association, GAA Handball and GAA Rounders. The replaces all previous Codes and is a mandatory Child Safeguarding Policy for all Gaelic Games Associations in our work with underage players. It is a comprehensive good practice guidance publication and we are anxious that as many players, coaches, parents and other Club personnel have immediate access to its content.
