Policies

Child Safeguarding

The safety and well-being of children and young people come first in everything we do.

Our commitments

We are guided by the Children First Act 2015 and Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children. Anyone working or volunteering with young people must follow our safeguarding procedures and, where required, complete Garda Vetting.

Reporting a concern

If a child is in immediate danger, contact An Garda Síochána on 112 or 999. Concerns about a child's welfare can be reported to Tusla, the Child and Family Agency.

You can also contact the association directly; concerns will be passed to the Designated Liaison Person.

Policy status

This page sets out the association's proposed approach. Wording will be confirmed against the organisation's governing documents before it is treated as formal policy.

Be part of a more accessible future.
