Press Statement from the NBSCCCI on the publication of the final four review reports.
In May 2016, reviews were completed by the National Board for safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI). These Church Authorities committed to providing the NBSCCCI with information on the implementation of any recommendations made, following a nine month period. See Overview Report.
A formal invitation from the Royal Commission was extended to Ms. Teresa Devlin, CEO, to appear as a witness to participate in a particular panel of the Commission’s work covering child safety, complaint handling and risk management relating to current international practice in this area.

The NBSCCCI today welcomes the publication of the report of the Historic Institutional Abuse Inquiry. Our first response has to be to express our concern for the survivors of the abuse.
Last year the NBSCCCI met with the Chair and members of his Inquiry Team and shared our updated and revised child safeguarding policy and standards for the Catholic Church in Ireland, which were described as follows “it seems to bring clarity on complex issues by being both comprehensive and concise” by a member of the Inquiry Team.
The NBSCCCI will examine the HIA report in detail, over the coming days with particular reference to the elements that relate to the Catholic Church and will ensure any recommendations are integrated into future policy and practice.
