Paralympics Ireland is an organisation focused on providing elite Irish athletes with disabilities the opportunity to compete at Paralympic Games, World and European Championships. Occasionally, an elite athlete comes to the fore in Ireland who is under 18 years of age and it is therefore the  responsibility of Paralympics Ireland to have safeguarding measures in place for these athletes. 

All information regarding safeguarding can be found in the Paralympics Ireland Safeguarding Policy here.
