The Derry Diocesan Child Protection Committee has announced the publication of its first annual report outlining on-going work in the safe-guarding of children and young people involved in church-related activities within the Catholic Diocese of Derry.
The report covers the time from the inception of the committee up until Spring 2007, a period which has seen the development and implementation of child protection policies and procedures throughout the diocese. The ongoing work of the committee has been carried out in keeping with statutory and Church guidelines and in conjunction with the newly established National Board for Child Protection and the associated National Office for Child Protection.
The committee acknowledged Tom Maguire, diocesan child protection co-ordinator, and Mary Bradley, diocesan child protection trainer, who provided information sessions and training for parish representatives and clergy. They are continuing to support parishes in ensuring safe environments for children.
