Child Protection in Sport - Raising Awareness Seminar/Workshop

A very successful Child Protection Seminar/Workshop was held in Coleraine Bowling Club on Thursday the 26th of April 2007. The speakers were Paul Stephenson  (Child Protection in Sport Unit NSPCC),  Ken Armstrong (Child Protection Officer IBA and Hon. Secretary of the Irish Bowls Coaches Association) and Miss Bronagh McKee (Child Protection Training Specialist).

All clubs, except three of our Association were represented at the seminar. Very informative talks and a workshop were given by the three speakers followed by questions /answers and discussions. A good selection of resource material was available and each club received a copy of the Code of Ethics & Good Practice for Children’s Sport – SCNI & ISC.

I would like to thank all those who made the effort to attend the seminar/workshop and it is hoped with sufficient demand, that a 1hour follow up talk/discussion given by Miss Bronagh McKee, will take place at a later date.

Many thanks to our three speakers for attending and presenting their Topics.
