SAFEGUARDING POLICY
The Parish of FARRANREE is part of the Catholic Diocese of Cork and Ross.
We all share the responsibility for ensuring that our children grow up in an environment where they are respected and loved and are free from the danger of any form of abuse. Where children are involved in Church-related activities, the Diocese takes its responsibilities seriously. Our parish is guided by and audited by the Safeguarding Children Service of the Diocese of Cork and Ross.
The Diocese of Cork and Ross invites anyone with a child protection concern to contact the Diocesan Designated Officer, Ms. Cleo Yates on 087-3768599 or 021-4301717.
