Policy Statement

As a constituent member of the Catholic Church in Ireland, we recognise and uphold the dignity and rights
of all children, are committed to ensuring their safety and well-being, 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.
All Church personnel (including clergy, religious, staff and volunteers) have a responsibility to safeguard
children through promoting their welfare, health and development in a safe and caring environment that
supports their best interests and prevents abuse.
