From September 15th to 21st, Offaly Sports Partnership is proud to participate in Children First Awareness Week 2025, a national campaign to promote child safeguarding across Ireland.

The campaign’s core message, “We Were All Children Once. Now We Are Children First,” underscores that child safeguarding is everyone’s business, whether you are a parent, a volunteer, or a member of a child’s wider community.

This year, we are placing a new focus on reaching parents and responsible adults, aiming to empower them with the knowledge and confidence to recognise and respond to safeguarding concerns. We want to ensure that parents and guardians understand what safeguarding measures they should expect from us and feel safe asking questions.
