As part of the Paris Wave programme, and to assist boxers, coaches and clubs, IABA is now making additional Safeguarding courses available. All adults – coaches, committee members and non-coaching volunteers – in every club who have contact with children are required to have undertaken Safeguarding 1.
IABA has made available 10 Safeguarding 1 workshops to date in 2024, and 8 more are already scheduled for the period August to December. Additional Safeguarding Two courses, under the Paris Wave programme, are available, online, on the following dates:
September 25th at 18:30pm

In keeping with Sport Ireland best practice in Safeguarding training, workshops will be limited to 16 participants. In keeping with norms across the sporting community, the cost for this workshop is E20. Registration for each course will close 2 days before the date, and those who’ve registered will be sent payment information. The participation reservation will expire if payment is not received by 5pm on the scheduled day of the workshop.
