Badminton Ireland Safeguarding Code

Badminton Ireland believes that we and our clubs have a duty to promote a positive experience and safeguard children from abuse or poor practice.

By encouraging all clubs to implement the Badminton Ireland (BI) guidelines we believe that everyone in badminton will benefit – children, parents/guardians and coaches.

Badminton Ireland have produced a complete safeguarding policy guidance for clubs
