Governance Documents
The Governance Code for Sport (“the Code”) builds on the work of the Code of Practice for Good Governance of Community, Voluntary and Charitable (CVC) Organisations in Ireland, as taken over by Sport Ireland in June 2019.
The Government’s National Sports Policy, published in July 2018, tasks Sport Ireland with overseeing a process whereby all National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs) adopt the Code by the end of 2021. In taking over the Code, Sport Ireland can ensure that this objective is delivered and that all funded organisations have appropriate governance structures in place.
Westmeath Sports Partnership fully adheres to the Code and below you will find some documents relating to our compliance or stated exemptions within the code.
