SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN: There are 3 different leaflets at the back of the Church. Please take them.
SAFEGUARDING SUNDAY: 30th November 2014. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today in our diocese we launch our annual Diocesan Safeguarding Sunday, 30th November 2014. You may ask what is Safeguarding Sunday - what is this about. Just to give you the background! Last year The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland, Maynooth, carried out a Safeguarding Audit in our diocese.   This Audit examined two areas: the diocesan child sexual abuse case files and the diocesan Safeguarding Policies and Procedures. Having completed the Review, the National Board published a Report which included twelve recommendations. I am pleased to say that the diocese has implemented or is currently implementing all twelve Recommendations.    
One of the Recommendations contained in the Report is to put in place a Communications Policy and suggests the introduction of a Safeguarding Sunday in order to create a greater awareness of Safeguarding Policies and Procedures currently being implemented in our diocese. Today we launch our new information leaflets for Parents and Children, new Posters and Notices, which will replace the older ones on display in the Church.  All information is available on www.ossory.ie . The Diocese of Ossory values and encourages the participation of children in our Church. Each and every one of us has a duty of care and a responsibility to do all we can to ensure that innocent children are protected and safe. By implementing and monitoring our Safeguarding Policies and Procedures the diocese is doing its very best to ensure the safety of children. We must be vigilant at all times.  Each child should be cherished and affirmed as a gift from God. I thank all of you, priests, religious and the lay faithful, for your dedicated service to this very important ministry. Your support is essential in order to ensure the implementation and monitoring of safeguarding policies and procedures. By doing so we, together, are doing all we can to ensure that children who participate in our Church are safe. Finally, if you feel that some aspect of safeguarding in our diocese could be protected in any way, please do not hesitate to let us know. With every blessing of the Lord. Yours sincerely, Seamus Freeman.
