Strand Celtic’s number one priority is that our players participate in a safe and fun environment, allowing them to develop as players and people.

This section contains key documents, statements and policies to provide our coaches, volunteers and parents / guardians with an overview of expectations, responsibilities and guidance on safeguarding our members.

If you have any issues, the primary contact is the team coach. Where there are safeguarding or concerns that you feel cannot be dealt with by your age group coach then please contact our Child Welfare team at email address below.
childwelfarestrandceltic@gmail.com

Our current Child welfare officers are
Michelle Conway
Ciara Heffernan (Assistant designated liaison person)
Shane Kelly

Every adult connected with the club, including coaches, volunteers, parents and guardians have a responsibility for safeguarding and we ask that you all take the time to review the various documents including the safeguarding statement and codes of conduct that are relevant to you.

If you have questions on any aspect of the policies, please contact your age group coach, a member of the Committee or the club Secretary Shane Kelly (strandcelticsecretary@gmail.com)
