A third phase of required pre-affiliation workshops is open for registration, in preparation for affiliation for the 2025/2026.
135 clubs attended the 23 workshops which took place in April and May. Four more workshops will take place between June 16th and 19th, in advance of the affiliation deadline on June 20th. Representatives of county boards and provincial units are also welcome to attend.
The workshops will assist clubs in a number of ways:
- Introducing your club to the upgrade which means your club’s coaching and non-coaching volunteer profiles now include their Garda Vetting/Access NI check information. This means every club can see at a glance when their members’ vetting will expire.
- Signposting your club in reviewing your coach data, to ensure all coaches’ qualifications are present, and accurate
- Signposting your club in ensuring all members, not just competitive boxers, are included in their portals so that they are insured.
There will also be advisories and guides on:
- The Garda Vetting/AccessNI check processes
- The practicalities of managing a Safeguarding concern at a club level – what to do if a concern is raised in your club.
