Irish Sports Council Safe Sport App

This week the Irish Sports Council launched their Safe Sport App.

 John Treacy, CEO Irish Sports Council commented “The Safe Sport app is based on the Irish Sports Councils Code of Ethics & Good Practice for Children’s Sports which has been adopted and implemented by National Governing Bodies of Sports, clubs and Local Sports Partnerships on an on-going basis.  It features key information regarding your role in sport to ensure children and young people’s experiences of sport are fun, enjoyable and conducted in the spirit of fair play”.

 The Safe Sport app is presented in two formats and you can choose to read or listen to the information. The native app is available for free download and available on IOS and Android platforms.

 The App is suitable for:

                    Leader / Coach

                    Parent / Guardian

                    Club / Organisation

                    Child / Young Person

The app includes a ‘Travel Tracker’ which allows parents, coaches, who are driving someone else’s child/children home, for example after a training session, to permit the child’s parent, or guardian to view and have oversight of their location for a specified period of time while they are travelling on a journey.
