This new Code brings together the collective best practice experiences of our Associations and marks a truly Child Centered Approach as we seek, through the implementation of an agreed and joint policy document, that while promoting our games amongst young people we also seek to provide a safe environment in which we can develop children, under 18 years of age, in a caring and respective environment within our respective Associations. This Code applies to all persons under 18 years of age who participate in our games or other activities, and to those who work with them and assist them in any capacity on our behalf.
