Monday 17th May 2010
The National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church (NBSCCC) published its second annual report today. It details the work done by the Board and its National Office in the year through 31 March 2010. The range of their activities underpins two clear conclusions noted by Ian Elliott, CEO, “That children should be safer within the Church than they once were” and “those that seek to harm children should feel much less secure.” At parish level throughout Ireland child safeguarding is now supported by 2,356 known volunteers who have undergone appropriate training.
