Safeguarding

Safeguarding Trust is the Church of Ireland's Code of Good Practice for Ministry with children and vulnerable adults. 

The Parish of St Nicholas and All Saints, Belfast, takes the safeguarding and care of children, young people, victims of domestic abuse, and vulnerable adults very seriously. The Church of Ireland, through its policy, Safeguarding Trust, is committed to setting standards for the welfare of all children and young people sharing in its ministry with a view to protecting them from physical, sexual and emotional harm and neglect. The parish panel (appointed by the Select Vestry) comprises the Rector, Mrs Kathryn Haugh, and Dr Patricia McKee. To read more about our policies and procedures, please click here.
