The Church of Ireland acknowledges its duty of care to safeguard, protect and
promote the welfare of all children sharing in its ministry. We are committed
to ensuring that safeguarding reflects statutory responsibilities, government
regulation and complies with best practice.
The Church of Ireland pledges to work alongside parents, carers and statutory
authorities, to value and support children as important members of our church
community, to ensure they have a positive and safe experience in church
activities.
This safeguarding policy applies to all church personnel and is recognised
in Chapter XVI of the Constitution of the Church of Ireland.
