Safeguarding for Equestrians (Face to Face) Course – delivered by the RDA

Date: Wednesday 19th November 2025

Time: 10.00am start (arrive for 9.30am)

Trainer: Hilary Idzikowska

Venue: Birr Hill Riding Centre, 81 Whinney Hill, Dundonald, Belfast BT16 1UA

All attendees must be 16 years of age or above. We do ask you to confirm your age so the trainer can be made aware and is able to better support young persons. All attendees should be aware that they might find the content disturbing. In light of this, we recommend that attendees aged 16 or 17 have a responsible adult with them.

• Places are limited, so they will need to be reserved in advance. Please be sure to let us know if you are not going to be able to attend.
• There is no charge applicable for RDA volunteers and coaches.
• It is now a requirement for all coaches, assessed to deliver RDA sessions without supervision (i.e. all except Coaches in Training), and activity leaders to have a current safeguarding certificate. Initially this must be a face-to-face or virtual training which meets RDA requirements.
