The Diocese of Kilmore has issued a newsletter to all its parishes on the protection of minors from abuse. The Safeguarding Children Newsletter contains details of the main developments in Kilmore in recent years towards protecting young people, together with contacts for diocesan trainers and employees in the area of child protection, and HSE and Garda contact details.
All 36 parishes within Kilmore have received copies of the newsletter.
Additionally, the newsletter offers full guidance on reporting suspected cases of misconduct involving a child.
''The welfare of children is paramount,'' the newsletter stresses.
In his introduction to the newsletter, Bishop Leo O'Reilly expresses his ''fervent prayer that these policies will assist us in ministering to children and young people in ways that will enhance their physical, emotional and spiritual growth within the safe and welcoming environment of the Christian community''.
