I welcome you to this new Safeguarding Children Cloyne website.
Here you will find many useful resources such as policy documents, codes of behaviour, accident procedures, official forms and up to date information. It will be very useful to priests, parish safeguarding representatives, staff and volunteers in fulfilling the safeguarding duties of their respective roles. The website has been established by the Cloyne Diocesan Safeguarding Children Committee, and I commend all involved on the excellent quality of the material and layout of the website. Of course the committee are also involved in many other initiatives in the Diocese, such as training of parish personnel and parish audits, all aimed at ensuring best practice in the safeguarding of children in every corner of the Diocese of Cloyne, which must continue to be a priority for all of us. I thank you for visiting here. I hope you will find it useful and will return in the future. + William Crean Cloyne Diocesan Safeguarding Children Committee

Latest Developments Update to Policy, Procedures & Forms as a consequence of feedback from Child Safeguarding Training and Information Sessions Volunteer Information Handout Outlines the Procedures/Forms relevant to roles within the Church Form 1.1A(6) - Volunteer Declaration Form (New Form) This Form should be completed in respect of all volunteers in the parish. The requesting of two references and checking with the referees is no longer a general requirement however, if the role involves working with children/vulnerable adults and if the person named on the form is not known to the Priest(s)/a member of the Parish Safeguarding Personnel, the names and contact details of two people who are not relatives of the volunteer should be provided for reference purposes and a check conducted with the referees concerned. Agreement Form 5.1A(1) and Confidentiality Form 1.1A(5) These two forms have now been amalgamated for ease of administration. These Forms should be used solely for paid staff.
