Longford Parish
(Templemichael and Ballymacormack) is very
aware of the need to achieve best practise in the
area of Child Protection. We would like to take the
opportunity to highlight the Parish’s Child
Protection Policy which is on view in the porch of
each Church. We have had the assistance of two child
protection representatives in the parish over the
past three years to assist in the implementation and
monitoring of this policy. We have just recruited
two new people to fulfil this role. Parents of Altar
Servers form a rota of teams that act in a supervisory
capacity, assisting the children before and after
Mass.
All people
interacting with children in the Parish undergo Garda
vetting. The priests and staff of Longford Parish
are fully committed to observing the highest standards
when in contact with our young parishioners.
