PASSIONISTS ST PATRICKS PROVINCE
SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN
The Passionists of St. Patrick’s Province are committed to creating a safe, healthy and inclusive environment for all, particularly, the children, young people and vulnerable adults with whom we work. The participation of children and young people is valued and encouraged by all Passionists in their pastoral ministry and in activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development. The Passionists recognize the dignity and rights of all children and vulnerable adults and are committed to their support and safeguarding.
The Passionists have procedures in place through which the care of children is implemented. Our policies and procedures are in accordance with the
guidelines established by the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church. All Passionists, staff and volunteers are required to comply
with the policy procedures and practices outlined in the policy document which can be accessed at www.passionists.ie and www.thegraan.com
