CHILD WELFARE POLICY STATEMENT

Straffan GAA is fully committed to creating and maintaining the safest possible environment for all young people in our activities. We do our utmost to take all practicable steps to safeguard children from any discernible forms of abuse, harm, discrimination or degrading treatment and we respect their rights, wishes and feelings.

Straffan GAA has, as required under the GAA Our Games - Our Code Guidelines, a designated Children’s’ Officer who should be the first point of contact for all child welfare concerns or questions.

We would ask everyone involved with the club to support and cooperate with our Children’s’ Officer in this vitally important role.

If you are:

  • A juvenile Member who is worried about your treatment within the club

OR

  • An adult member or parent who has any concerns about the welfare of a child

you are urged to contact our Children’s’ Officer. You can be assured you will be dealt with professionally and in the strictest confidence.

Children’s Officer: Deirdre Murphy | +353 87 638 3876
