Date of Review Report: January 2024
Date of Review: November & December 2023
The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) has completed the Second Review of Child Safeguarding in the Irish Province of Carmelites.
The purpose of this second round of reviews is to assess child-safeguarding practice against the Catholic Church in Ireland’s current standards as detailed in Safeguarding Children – Policy and Standards for the Catholic Church in Ireland 2016.
All seven standards have been met and I note that “the reviewers are satisfied that the Irish Province of Carmelites has implemented a robust infrastructure to promote a culture of safety for children, while developing effective support structures for people reporting retrospective abuse.” This reflects the commitment of all involved in Carmelite Ministry to Safeguarding in the Church today.
I would like to thank the NBSCCCI and the reviewers for carrying out this important work. It has been a positive learning experience for us a province.
I would also like to thank all who participated in this review, each contribution is deeply appreciated.
