Adult Safeguarding

The Archdiocese of Armagh is committed to safeguarding as an integral component of the life and ministry of the Church and recognises that we have a special responsibility towards adults at risk of harm or in need of protection who are members of our faith community.

We want to reassure them, their carers and their advocates, that we are committed to zero-tolerance of harm to adults at risk of harm or in need of protection by creating a safe, caring and compassionate environment for all. This commitment is based on gospel values and teachings, and compliance with “best practice”.
