SAFEGUARDING POLICY STATEMENT

Damien Centre Ltd t/a Adventure Retreats Ireland is committed to the Safeguarding Policies of the Catholic Church in Ireland to protect children and young people from any form of abuse or maltreatment and to promote a safe environment for them.

This commitment flows from the fact that we are all made in the image of God and the Church's common belief in the dignity and uniqueness of every human life.

We start from the principle that each person has a right to expect the highest level of care and protection, love, encouragement and respect that we can give.

We will liaise closely and openly with statutory agencies to ensure that any concerns or allegations of abuse that are raised are promptly reported and properly investigated, victims supported and perpetrators held to account.

Signed

Chairman

Damien Centre Ltd July 2010
