The parish of Ballybrack-Killiney recognises and upholds the dignity and rights of all children. It is committed to ensuring their safety and well-being and it works in partnership with parents/guardians and the Diocesan and State authorities to do this. The parish implements the child safeguarding policy of the Irish Catholic Church as set out in Safeguarding Children: Policy and Standards for the Catholic Church in Ireland, 2016 (hyperlink: http://csps.dublindiocese.ie/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2018/03/Diocesan-Safeguarding-Document-2018.pdf
