The Parish of St. Sylvester’s Malahide value and encourage the participation of children and young people in Parish activities which enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development.
We recognise the dignity and the rights of all children and are committed to ensuring their protection and support.
In keeping with this, we will work to do all in our power to create safe environments for children and young people in order to secure their protection and enable their full participation in the life of St Sylvester’s Parish, Malahide.
A Code of Conduct along with a series of procedures have been developed to allow us meet and exceed the aims of this policy.
