Millstreet Parish Child Protection Policy Statement

We wish to bring to your attention our Child Protection Policy which we both as a Diocese and Parish have adopted  & the Contact Information Posters  which are  in each of our Sacristies and at the back of our churches.

‘The Diocese of Kerry seeks to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to make known the Good News of Christ more fully through worship, service and witness.  In keeping with this aim, ministry with children and young people in the Diocese is informed by the three Gospel values of Truth, Justice and Love.

The Diocese of Kerry values and encourages the participation of children and young people in parish liturgies and in activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development.  We recognise and uphold the dignity and rights of all children and young people.  We are committed to their protection and support in a way that promotes their human dignity and integrity as children of God.

In keeping with this we, undertake to do all in our power to create safe environments for children, young people and vulnerable adults, and to ensure their protection from either physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect.

We recognise that all involved in working with children, young people and vulnerable adults have a special duty of care towards them.  We are committed to putting procedures in place through which this care is put into effect so that the rights of children, young people and vulnerable adults to actively participate in the life of the Church are upheld’.
