This section provides access to key safeguarding documents, guidance materials, and contact information for those involved in safeguarding ministry across the Dioceses of Clonfert, and of Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora.

Here you will find:

  • Current diocesan safeguarding policies and procedures

  • National guidance from the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI)

  • Links to training materials and parish resources

  • Information for clergy, volunteers, and parish safeguarding representatives

These resources are intended to support best practice and to ensure that every parish, school, and faith community provides a place where children, young people, and adults at risk are welcomed, protected, and valued.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, or if you would like advice or assistance, please allow us to be of help. You can contact the Director of Safeguarding, Ms Isabelle Mulkern, by email at imulkern@clonfertgalway.ie.

We are here to listen, to offer guidance and to ensure that safeguarding remains at the heart of our diocesan life.
