CHILD PROTECTION POLICY STATEMENT
The Parish of the Immaculate Heart of Mary recognises the dignity and rights of all children. We are committed to their protection and support.
We see our children and young people as the future of the Church and actively encourage their participation in Parish life. Our activities will enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development.
We commit ourselves to do all in our power to create a safe environment for children, young people and vulnerable adults in order to secure their protection and to enable their full participation in the life of the Church. We recognise that the welfare of the child is paramount.

The Archdiocese of Dublin Child Safeguarding & Protection Policy and Procedures requires all employees in the Diocese or Parishes and all involved as Volunteers, Ministers or Parish Groups to be Garda Vetted.
On putting the protection of children as an absolute priority, Garda Vetting is required for all Employees, Volunteers, Ministers or Parish Groups involved with Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.
