IFA Foundation vs Club & County

The Irish FA’s Safeguarding Children and Young People in Football app is an ideal educational tool for adults involved in youth football, as well as young players. The app is aimed at creating greater awareness and understanding about safeguarding best practice. Critically, it is to build confidence and competence so that adults involved in children’s football are better prepared to identify, respond to and report child protection concerns. The app: - Addresses contemporary challenges such as social media, bullying and transportation. - Tests your knowledge on safeguarding issues, policies and procedures. - Shares advice on how to report Child Abuse and Poor Practice. - Facilitates Push Notifications on Irish FA news, course content and safeguarding updates. The app was commissioned by the Irish FA and is designed and developed by Ineqe Safe and Secure.

The Club & County App contains all your club ‘Need to Knows’. How did we do at the weekend? Who are we playing next? What’s the latest news? Will I get updates on tonight’s game? You’ve got the questions. The app’s got the answers. You don’t even have to be a member to access it (but maybe you should consider becoming one!) No matter where in the world your supporters are, they can download the app, select your club from the menu and they’re in. What’s included in the App? The Club and County App has all the key features from your club website with the added benefit of message notifications. It gives administrators what they need and members and supporters what they need to know. From games to general news and messages, it keeps everyone connected. For supporters, the App has three main features: The Match Centre, News & Messages. C&C Match Centre Gives you all your club fixtures and results at all levels and codes. It even covers your county results. Happy days! (Well, depending on the score.) If you want more detail on tables etc., you can get this from your C&C club site. C&C Latest News If it’s going down, it’s going in! All the latest info from the website can be found right here. C&C Messages Now you’ll never miss a beat – this feature lets you accept messages from the club straight to your device. These are divided into three colour coded headings – Games Update, General Messages and Events. Use your settings to choose what you see and when. A bit more about C&C Messages: Games Update: If your Club has someone at the game, they can give game updates LIVE as they happen. No need to wait for the GAA Games Management system. General Messages: Does exactly what you’d expect – sends you general info so you’re always in the loop. Events: Never say ‘I never knew that was on’ ever again. (Unless you switch the Events tab off of course – that’s on you!) For administrators: Club Administrators, control of News and Messaging is all yours. News posted on the C&C website will automatically appear on the App and, using your website admin login, you have access to the messages control panel. Simply select the category and send. It will go to everyone who has that category selected on their device
