Safeguarding

Keeping safe young people and vulnerable adults taking part in our parish activities is of paramount concern to us. We use the resources of the Dublin Diocese.

Volunteering

All adults involved as volunteers in our parish activities are required to complete an Adult Volunteer Application form and a Code of Conduct form and attend a Safeguarding Information Session every three years.

Volunteers who work directly with young people or vulnerable adults must also be Garda Vetted and attend a one-day safeguarding training session.

Where young people are participating in parish activities their parents will also be required to complete a consent form and the young person will be provided with a code of conduct.

Policies and Procedures

Safeguarding policies are reviewed regularly by the Diocese and new elements are added as required. More information can also be found on the Dublin Diocese safeguarding website – https://csps.dublindiocese.ie
