As part of our ongoing commitment to GAA Child Safeguarding and GDPR compliance, Robert Emmets CLG will be transitioning from WhatsApp to the Clubforce Connect app for all team messaging, event organisation, and attendance tracking for matches and training sessions.
Why the Change?
✅ Enhanced Child Safeguarding – Clubforce Connect is designed to meet GAA standards for youth player protection.
✅ GDPR Compliance – Ensures personal data is handled securely and in line with regulations.
✅ Improved Communication – A dedicated club-wide platform for streamlined messaging and event management.
