JUNIOR (under 18) COACHES

Safeguarding:

As the Safeguarding requirements for under 18’s coaches must be updated regularly we ask that you contact us to check that a coach has these up  to date before contacting a coach. Contact: mary@triathlonireland.com to check requirements.

A junior coach is a qualified coach who also has all safeguarding requirements in place. 
Junior coaches must complete the following safeguarding requirements:

• Garda Vetting or/and Access NI.

• Signed a Code of Conduct annually.

• Completed a Safeguard 1 course/Safeguarding children and young people in sport course.
  

How do I contact a coach for a Junior?

A parent of guardian should contact TI first to check safeguarding requirements and then contact the coach directly.  There are also many Triathlon clubs with Junior sections where they will have a Club Childrens/Welfare officer and junior coaches.
