Child Safeguarding Statement
Under the Children First Act 2015, all organisations working with children and families and which are classed as ‘relevant services’, must have a Child Safeguarding Statement in place by 11th March, 2018. The safety, welfare and development of children are a core objective and a key priority for North West Parents and Friends Organisation.
Holy Family Preschool has published its Safeguarding Statement. Our service is committed to the implementation of this statement and the accompanying child safeguarding policies and procedures that support our intention to keep children safe from harm while availing of our service. The statement will be reviewed every 2 years or as soon as practicable after there has been a material change to any matter in which the statement refers.
The statement has been provided to all staff, volunteers, students and any other persons involved with the service. It is readily accessible to parents and guardian on request. A copy of this statement will be made available to Tusla if requested.

As part of the vaccination roll-out programme, vaccinations for people we support commenced in March for people in our services. At this point, all adult users of our services have been offered a vaccine and those who took up the offer are in receipt of a first vaccine, with the exception of over 65s and other high risk individual who have been fully vaccinated.
Likewise all staff were offered vaccine in early March and those staff who took up the offer have had their second vaccine and this has been completed in early June, 2021.
