Child Protection

The Parish of Goleen values and encourages the participation of children and young people in parish liturgies and activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development. The Parish recognises the dignity and rights of all children and young people and is committed to their protection and support.

All relevant procedures will be put in place to create a safe environment for children and young people so as to enable their full participation in the life of the Church. Details of these procedures are available from your Parish Representatives.

The Parish Representatives will oversee the implementation of these procedures with group leaders who work with children and young people in Church related activities.
