The Archdiocese of Dublin provides a Child Safeguarding and Protection Service.

 

The Child Safeguarding and Protection Service promotes the safe care of children involved in Church activities throughout the Archdiocese.  It:

Provides training for priests and parish workers in safeguarding and child protection.

Deals with complaints and concerns about child protection matters, reporting to the civil authorities and advising the Archbishop on any protective measures necessary to protect children from abuse.

Monitors the activities of priests known to have abused children in the past in order to minimise the chance of them doing so again.

The service provides pastoral outreach and support for those who have experienced abuse by priests or parish workers.
