Child Safeguarding 2026 – GAA Rounders Coaches & Club Requirements

As another brilliant year of Rounders wraps up, it’s time to start thinking about

Child Safeguarding for 2026.

  • Coaches & Mentors – Garda Vetting / Access NI + Safeguarding 1
  • Club Children’s Officer – above + Safeguarding 2
  • Club DLP – Garda Vetting / Access NI + Safeguarding 1 & 3

👉 New or returning juvenile clubs will also need a
Safeguarding Risk Assessment & Statement.
Our Children’s Officer, Craig Davis, is happy to help out over the winter:

Let’s get everything in place now so our young players can hit the ground running in 2026! 🙌
