Safeguarding


Éire Óg Oxford is fully committed to upholding the highest standards of behaviour when it comes to conduct involving underage players. Nothing can be more important than the welfare and wellbeing of our youth players. As part of the GAA – in association with connected organisations – a new Code of Behaviour (Underage) has been agreed and is now made available to all players, coaches, parents and other Club personnel. The Code replaces all previous Codes and is a mandatory Code of Behaviour for all Gaelic Games Associations in our work with underage players. It is a comprehensive good practice guidance publication and we ask all members and associated schools to refer to it.
