The Sunbed Council of Ireland CLG

The Sunbed Council of Ireland Company Limited by Guarantee operates as a professional body established to support sunbed businesses across Ireland. It positions itself as the official sunbed council in the country, aiming to promote safe and responsible sunbed use while supporting operators. The organisation seeks to regulate the industry correctly rather than shut it down, acting as a voice for sunbed shops. It works to raise professional standards by developing guidelines for best practice and maintaining a framework for recognised qualifications.

The council provides training and guidance through workshops, advice, and resources to help operators thrive and meet nationally recognised standards. It engages with government and regulatory bodies to advocate for fair and effective regulation, working towards clear and practical legislation. Members benefit from accreditation and recognition, including a membership mark and inclusion in an official register of members. This register aims to give the public confidence and set a benchmark for professionalism.

The organisation facilitates networking and collaboration, bringing together salon owners, suppliers, and training providers to share knowledge. It focuses on long-term industry development and sector collaboration to set consistent national standards. The Sunbed Council of Ireland offers representation for salon owners and provides business support, safety guidance, and professional development programmes. It invites operators to apply for membership to participate in this national initiative and uphold high standards within the Irish sunbed sector.
