Child Safeguarding

Parish Child Safeguarding Policy

The Child Safeguarding and Protection Service of the Archdiocese of Dublin promotes the safe care of children and vulnerable adults involved in Church activities throughout the Archdiocese.

The Parish of Clondalkin (Church of the Immaculate Conception of the BVM and St. Killian, Clondalkin Village; Our Lady Queen of the Apostles, Clonburris; and Church of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple, Knockmitten), values and encourages the participation of children, young people and vulnerable adults in all Parish activities and liturgies, as well as in Diocesan activities, in order to enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual and social development. We recognise the dignity and rights of all children, young people and vulnerable adults and are committed to ensuring their protection from all forms of abuse.
