Under the Children First Act 2015, all organisations providing ‘relevant services’, to children and families must have a Child Safeguarding Statement in place. This is a written statement, informed by a risk assessment that specifies the service being provided and the principles and procedures to be observed in order to ensure, as far as practicable, that a child availing of the service is safe from harm.

Are you familiar with the HSE Mid West Community Healthcare Child Safeguarding Statement?

All HSE Mid West Community Healthcare staff should make themselves aware of the content of the HSE Mid West Community Healthcare Child Safeguarding Statement, the potential risks of harm identified, and the policies and procedures in place to safeguard children.
