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.

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
