Child Protection Policy?
In line with the Irish Sports Council's Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport the GUI, ILGU and PGA have produced a child protection policy, 'Code of Ethics for Golf for Young People'. The policy contains codes of conduct for leaders, players and parents, a bullying policy and guidelines for travelling, supervision, overnight trips and physical contact, along with guidelines for recognising and reporting child protection concerns. The policy also contains samples documents, so that each club may use the material to create their own child protection policy.
