Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport in Ireland

You will already be aware of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport in Ireland, published by the Government in 1996 and to which the Irish Fencing Federation has signed up. The Code is designed to cover sporting activities involving children and young people up to 18 years of age. In many ways it simply sets out what many of you will recognise as good practice for individuals working with children in sport.

You are requested to study the Code and bring its recommendations to the attention of all persons in your club who have contact with children, whether it be in competitive sport or non-competitive physical recreation. Adults have a crucial leadership role to play in sport, whether as coaches, instructors, administrators, competitors, parents and guardians. All clubs affiliated to the IFF and all individuals licensed by the IFF will be required to comply with the recommendations set out in the Code.
