Reporting concerns

In football, everyone should feel safe. Strict safeguarding policies are in place along with mandatory Garda Vetting and Safeguarding training for all coaches and volunteers.

There are no grey areas when it comes to proper conduct and acceptable behaviour. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, report it.

It is crucial to thoroughly investigate all complaints, concerns, and allegations, with the primary focus on ensuring the well-being of the child or vulnerable adult.
