Safeguarding in the Parish
We in the Parish of Sallynoggin / Glenageary (Our Lady of Victories Church) value and encourage the participation of children and young people in parish liturgies and in activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development. We recognise the dignity and rights of all children and young people and are committed to their protection and support. In keeping with this we will work to do all in our power to create safe environments for children and young people in order to secure their protection and enable their full participation in the life of the Church.
The Archdiocese of Dublin recognises and upholds the dignity and rights of all children, is committed to ensuring their safety and well being, and will work in partnership with parents/guardians to do this. The Archdiocese recognises each child as a gift from God, and values and encourages the participation of children in all activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual and social development. All diocesan 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.
If you have a concern about child abuse, please get in touch with one of the Contacts listed below.
