Diocese of Achonry

The Diocese of Achonry is committed to the safeguarding of children.  All priests exercising ministry within the diocese have been trained and accredited by the HSE in the practice and procedure of safeguarding children.  Likewise, lay representatives from all our twenty-three parishes have been trained or are in the process of being trained in this area by the HSE.  Such training has received unilateral welcome within the diocese and is seen as vital in the church’s ministry and, in particular, its ministry to and for children and families.

Parishes are committed to good practice and have set in place procedures in line with the directives issued by the National Board for Safeguarding Children and the HSE policy document "Children First".

Should there be any concerns regarding the safeguarding of children the designated contact person within our diocese is
