SAFEGUARDING FACILITATOR GATHERING
To mark the importance of this work, an event was held on the 10 September 2011 when the Safeguarding Facilitators, Safeguarding Committee Members, Bishop Clifford and the new Director of Safeguarding, Pat McGlew, came together. This was an opportunity for important information gathering and sharing in relation to the overall Safeguarding Training as well as ideas/suggestions for the future. The event closed with His Eminence Cardinal Seán Brady presenting certificates to the Facilitators and offering his thanks and appreciation to all those involved in the Archdiocese safeguarding strategy which remains a key priority. |
As part of the Archdiocese of Armagh on-going commitment to the safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults, 16 volunteers from throughout the Archdiocese were trained as Safeguarding Facilitators. The Facilitators then delivered Safeguarding Information Sessions in various parishes; these sessions were open to all parishioners but especially those whose ministry takes them into direct contact with children, young people and vulnerable adults.
