Ms Anne Marie Hughes:

It is important organisations adopt an holistic approach when it comes to educating parents, coaches, referees and club administrators. The Parents in Sport Week is a useful initiative, which is provided by Sport Ireland and Sport Northern Ireland, and in which I am sure the other governing bodies have been involved. The week takes place in the autumn, which is a nice time of the year to bring in parents and remind them of the codes of conduct. The IRFU has created a snappy video that conveys a message with the line "play your part, let them play". The video reminds parents of their role and that matches are a nice time to engage in silent sidelines. It is a huge opportunity to adopt an holistic approach to educate players, parents, coaches and people on the sideline at the one time.
