The month of May is the dedicated month for Safeguarding within the diocese.  

Our Child Safeguarding Policy Statement states that ‘we recognise and uphold the dignity and rights of all children, are committed to ensuring their safety and wellbeing, and will work in partnership with parents /guardians to do this.  We recognise each child as a gift from God, and we value and encourage the participation of children in all activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual and social development.’

Our Parish Safeguarding representatives are Emer O’Halloran and Margaret O’Halloran and they can be contacted via the Parochial House or through Fr Pat O’Neill.    Please remember ‘Safeguarding children is everybody’s responsibility’
