Swim Ireland Complaints and Disciplinary Training

This online workshop will be delivered by Swim Ireland to help you understand the complaints and disciplinary process that operates within Swim Ireland.

It will outline the complaints and disciplinary process at club, regional and national level whilst also give attendees an opportunity to work through scenario-based activities. 

As part of the training, we will also discuss conflict management and dealing with complaints informally. 

The training will help achieve a practical understanding of:

  • Disciplinary matters 
  • Person in authority
  • Immediate and non-immediate sanctions
  • Complaints 
  • Role of the Complaints & Disciplinary Committee (CDC)
