We want everyone at our evenings to be safe, and children most of all.
Who comes
Our evenings are for adults and for teenagers from the age of 12. A teenager comes with the consent of a parent or guardian. The parent or guardian is responsible for their child at the evening and stays on site.
What we do
- We do not organise activities for children without their parents.
- No adult on our team is alone with a child who is not their own.
- We take and publish photos and video of children only with a parent's consent. See the photo and video policy.
- The host stops the game if the conversation turns hurtful or pressures a player.
- If you are worried about a child's safety at one of our evenings, tell an organiser at once or write to info@fortunacommunity.ie.
What happens if there is a concern
We take any concern about a child's safety seriously. We will pass it to the relevant authorities, as the Children First Act 2015 requires, and we will not investigate it ourselves.
Our full statement
We are preparing a full Child Safeguarding Statement under the Children First Act 2015, with a risk assessment and a named contact person. We will publish it here when it is finished and checked.
The community the club belongs to publishes its policy on the Fortuna Community website.
