Part of Swim Ireland’s on-going safeguarding programme for Clubs

This Anti-Bullying workshop is being delivered by Patricia Kennedy from Sticks and Stones (please view their work on their website www.sticksandstones.ie).

Who should attend?

The workshop will be interactive and is a must for Children’s Officers, Coaches, Teachers, Team Managers and other roles who have direct interaction with young people in the Club.  It will also be useful for committee members to understand the importance of our Anti-Bullying programme within the Club structure.

How do I book?

You must book your place with the relevant Club Development Officer/ Regional Support Officers:

Ulster:        Ruth McQuillan        ruth@swimulster.net

Leinster:    Aisling McKeever     lso@swimireland.ie

Munster:   Cathal Geraghty       mso@swimireland.ie

Connacht: Vincent Finn              cso@swimireland.ie

 

You can attend any workshop convenient for you; book by contacting the relevant Regional Officer giving your name, email address, phone number, your club and role/position.

The fine print

The workshops are free of charge and limited to 25 people per workshop so you will need to book early to guarantee your place.  It is vitally important you attend on the day to make sure your place doesn’t go unused; as the workshops are limited other people wishing to attend will be placed on a waiting list.

Book early – remember to indicate which workshop you would like to attend
