CHILDREN FIRST

Most notably for the GAA, these include the requirements to adopt all provisions in relation to mandatory reporting of child abuse, ensuring the appointment of what can be termed key child safeguarding officers, which include our Designated Liaison Person Gary Mahon and Children’s Officer, Sarah Beattie.
