Club Children's Officers should be child-centred in focus and have as the primary aim the establishment of a child-centred ethos within the club. They are the link between the children and the adults in the club.
They also take responsibility for monitoring and reporting to the Club Management Committee on how club policy impacts on young people and sports leaders.
Places are limited and bookings will be on a first come, first served basis. The cost of this course is €15 per person (plus booking fee). Tickets can be purchased from www.tipperarysports.ie
