Team Racing & Irish Schools Sailing Policies Hub
This page is the central home for all key policies and reference documents connected to Team Racing and Irish Schools Sailing. It is designed for everyone involved in school sailing: students and their parents, teachers and school administrators, as well as coaches, volunteers, and event organisers. By bringing everything together in one organised place, we make it easier for you to find the information you need quickly and confidently.
Here you will find documents that support safety on and off the water, ensure fairness and consistency at events, and help schools meet safeguarding, insurance, and regulatory requirements. You can also access guidance on running events, codes of conduct, eligibility and participation rules, and practical procedures for managing teams and competitions. This hub is regularly reviewed so that all stakeholders can rely on clear, up‑to‑date information when planning, supervising, or taking part in school sailing activities.
Whether you are a student preparing for your first regatta, a parent looking to understand how events are managed, a teacher coordinating a school team, or an organiser planning a full racing series, this page is here to support you. Having a single, trusted source for policies reduces confusion, helps everyone follow the same standards, and underpins a safe, respectful environment for all participants.
The documents collected here include high‑level policy statements, detailed procedures, risk and safety frameworks, safeguarding and welfare guidance, insurance and consent information, and event‑management resources. Together, they provide a clear framework so that every school, team, and event can operate with confidence, transparency, and a shared understanding of responsibilities.

Practical Guidance for Using Our Policies
Our policies and documents are living resources designed to support safety, fairness and compliance at every training session and event. They may be updated several times a year to reflect new regulations, best practice or lessons learned. Always check the date on each document and use the latest version from the official website or your school or club’s designated platform before planning or attending any activity.
Each school or club should appoint a clear policy lead, such as the safeguarding officer, head coach, or a senior administrator, to review documents regularly and share key updates with staff, volunteers and coaches. Coaches should understand the practical implications for training and events, while team managers or coordinators ensure that information is passed on to participants and parents in good time.
Review our policies before every event.
