Safeguarding

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Tribesmen Rowing Club is committed to the welfare of everyone who rows with us. Our Safeguarding Statement follows the Children First Act 2015 and Sport Ireland’s Safeguarding Guidance for Children’s Sport, and Rowing Ireland’s safeguarding policy.

1. Our commitment

Everyone involved in the club has a responsibility to keep children and vulnerable adults safe. All coaches and volunteers working with young people are Garda vetted and have completed Sport Ireland safeguarding training.

2. Who to contact

• Club Children’s Officer — the first point of contact for young members and parents.
• Designated Liaison Person — responsible for reporting concerns to Tusla or An Garda Síochána.

Names and contact details are on the noticeboard in the boathouse and available from any committee member.

3. If you have a concern

If a child is in immediate danger, call 999 or 112. Otherwise, speak to the Designated Liaison Person, or contact Tusla directly.

4. Online

The members area is for adult members. Junior members’ details are managed by the club offline with a parent or guardian’s consent, and are never published on this website.
