A Safe Summer of Sport: Your Cúl Camp Safeguarding Checklist

With the excitement of Cúl Camps just around the corner, it’s time for all clubs to double-check that every coach, mentor, and helper is safeguarding compliant.

Whether you’re on the sideline, planning activities, or assisting on the pitch, keeping our camps safe is everyone’s responsibility.

🚨 Key Reminder: If you’re involved in any way with your club’s Cúl Camp, make sure this message reaches your Children’s Officer and Camp Coordinator.

What You Need Before Camp Starts:

All adults (18+) working with U18s must have:

  • A valid vetting acceptance letter from a Gaelic Games Association (dated within the last 3 years).
  • Proof of completion of a Safeguarding 1 Workshop (also within the last 3 years).
  • A coaching qualification (if you’re coaching underage players).

🔁 Already vetted and trained? You may assist at another club’s camp if you wish!

What About 16-17 Year Olds?

Young people aged 16 or 17 can assist (but not coach or supervise) at Cúl Camps if they:

  • Are Garda Vetted via Foireann.
  • Have completed Safeguarding 1 OR the online Cúl Camp Assistant Child Safeguarding Awareness Programme.

The 2025 version of this online programme isn’t available yet — but the 2024 version on Tobar can be used in the meantime.

Important: This assistant training does not qualify a young person to help out with regular club coaching or matches — it’s just for Club Camps/Cúl Camps.
