Christ Church Cathedral is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who worships, works, volunteers or visits the Cathedral. The welfare and wellbeing of children, young people and adults at risk is a fundamental priority in all aspects of our ministry and operations.
As a Church of Ireland cathedral, we are committed to the safeguarding policies and procedures of the Church of Ireland. This commitment applies to everyone working on behalf of Christ Church Cathedral, including clergy, permanent and temporary employees, contractors and volunteers. All staff are expected to be familiar and compliant with the Cathedral’s safeguarding procedures and to complete any safeguarding training appropriate to their role.
All of our groups for children and young people comply with the Safeguarding Trust: The Church of Ireland’s Child Protection Policy.
Our Safeguarding panel members are:
- Canon Roy H. Byrne (Sub-Dean and Precentor)
- Paula Hennessy (HR Manager)
- Linda Cox
Information on the Church of Ireland’s safeguarding policies and guidance is available on the Church of Ireland Safeguarding website: https://safeguarding.ireland.anglican.org/
