Badminton Ireland has a National Governance Officer with the primary responsibility for the development and implementation of the Badminton Ireland policies for safeguarding children within the sport. It is a Badminton Ireland’s policy to review and update this document every three years.  The National Governance Officer (NGO) is available to help and support all members with the implementation of the document. The NGO also advises that all clubs who are affilated with Badminton Ireland must have a Safeguarding Officer (SO) and a Designated Liaison Person (DLP).

The NGO will assist and guide the Safeguarding Officer in clubs in following the policies and procedures and is available should any difficulties arise.

The following document is Badminton Ireland's Child Safeguarding Statement, which was completed in line with Children's First Legislation in the Republic of Ireland.
