The Code of Behaviour (Underage) is a mandatory Code for all persons working in any role of responsibility with Children in the GAA, Camogie, Ladies Football, Rounders or Handball, and has been adopted by our relevant Central Councils and is in accordance with Rule. This, the 5th version of the Code, replaces all previous editions of the Code of Behaviour when working with children and young people. The Code you will note is but one section, albeit a vital section, of our overall Code of Best Practice in Youth Sport.
Please note Section 8 of the Code of Behaviour which is a new Section that outlines the agreed mechanism for Dealing with Alleged Breaches of the Code of Best Practice at Club and County level. This requires all Clubs and Counties to appoint their own Code of Best Practice Hearings Committee to hear and adjudicate on breaches of the Code.
Attached please find a link to the new Code of Behaviour (Underage) that comes into effect on 1 November 2014. This is a joint Code shared by all of the Gaelic Games Associations.
