Community Games Supporting Anti-Bullying Week

17th November to 23rd November 2014

Monday marks the beginning of Anti-Bullying Week. During this week we would like to ask all coaches, volunteers and parents to think about what you can do to end bullying in your Area, community and/or school. As a child centred organisation it is important that we create a supportive environment where it is not acceptable to bully and where we encourage an ethos that it is ‘ok to tell’- Please click here to see our anti-bullying policy. 

For more information about Anti-Bullying Week and to get ideas on how you can take a stand against all forms of bullying, visit the NIABF website - www.endbullying.org.uk

The Child Protection in Sport Unit is holding a FREE webinair about empowering sport to tackle bullying. If you would like to register to take part in this please go to this website.



 

The HSE Community Games is an independent voluntary organisation, operating in local communities throughout Ireland. The organisation aims to provide opportunities for children and young people aged 6-16 years to develop active healthy lives in a safe environment through experiencing a wide range of sporting and cultural activities. Community spirit and co-operation is fostered and encouraged. The Organisation believes that every young person should have the opportunity to take part in sports and art in their local community and grow up understanding how good it makes you feel when you are active and healthy.

The organisation caters for children aged 6-16 years throughout 30 counties. It is not entirely sports based, there is a culture and arts section so children get an opportunity to experience a wide range of activities.
