The Values Charter for Sport in Ireland

Foreword

This Charter sets out the core values for Sport in Ireland, these are what Sport in Ireland stands for and encapsulates how the Irish population feel and think about sport as a proud sporting nation. They are more than just words on a page, they are for volunteers, officials, participants, competitors, spectators, administrators, communities, and sporting organisations: the sports leaders. To truly live these values, we need to show we believe in them, be seen to live by them and uphold them within our individual sports. Therefore, turning these core values into actions must run through sports leaders, who lead the adoption of these values to create the ethos and culture in their sport. Sports leaders in sport provide a key role in both exemplifying these core values and supporting others to live by them too.
