Reporting allegations and disclosures of child abuse to An Garda Síochána.
During July and August 2025, the NBSCCCI, in collaboration with the Garda National Protective Services Bureau, created a standardised form to be used when reporting allegations and disclosures of child abuse to An Garda Síochána. The form was/is used by all Church bodies to capture and report all relevant information. A collective aim is that this reporting form will serve as a useful resource when making such reports.
The NBSCCCI requested that all Church bodies begin to use the form from the 5th of August 2025.
We now invite all relevant Church bodies to join us for a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, 22nd October at 12 pm to share feedback on the functionality of this new template. The call should take 45 minutes to one hour.
Please register your interest below, and a Zoom link for the meeting will be forwarded to you in the week prior to the event.
