Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport

The Irish Sports Council and the Sports Council for Northern Ireland published a joint Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport in 2000. This major joint publication recognised the commitment of both Councils to ensure that young people are safeguarded in their participation in sport in the island of Ireland.

Horse Sport Ireland would advise each Affiliate to adopt this Code of Ethics as its own Code of Ethics. This is especially the case for Affiliates which deal with a large number of minors. Please note according to the Child Care Act (1991) a 'Child' is defined as anyone under the age of 18 years who is not married. See Child Protection and Welfare Practice Handbook 2011
