Child Welfare & Governance

Code of Behaviour (Underage)

This is the link to the current GAA Code of Behaviour (Underage) GAA Code Of Behaviour (Underage)

There is now a major emphasis on the Code of Behaviour and we ask all Club Children’s Officers to be familiar with the contents of the Code and encourage the Club to inform their members, coaches and officials of its contents and where possible to upload it, without amendment, to their club website.

It includes GAA policies on Social Media, Anti-Bullying, Travel and other relevant information in the area of Child Protection and Safeguarding. There is no need whatsoever for a Club to go writing their own Code. This Code has been agreed between each of the Gaelic Games Associations and that is the Code as referred to in rule.

If a case is taken regarding a breach of a Club Code as opposed to the Gaelic Games Associations’ Code it cannot be taken as per the guidance for Dealing with Breaches of the Code of Behaviour as that document is drafted solely in the context of the Gaelic Games Associations’ Code.

The revised Code also contains a new legally proofed Child/Youth Membership form, the contents of which Clubs are advised to use. It is Appendix 1 of the Code page 62

Any changes to the Code during the year will appear on www.gaa.ie through the above link.

Dealing With Allegations Or Concerns Of Abuse

There is an important document for all clubs, entitled ‘Guidance for dealing with and reporting allegations or concerns of abuse’, and officers should familiarise themselves with the information. It is recommended that clubs adopt this policy at a club meeting. Click on the link below for more:
