Safeguarding Guidance for Charitable Organisations working with Children

Where the activities of a charitable organisation (“charity”) include working with
vulnerable people, it is important that the charity has adequate risk assessment
procedures, safety checks and safeguards in place that meet requirements under Irish
law and national standards, policies and procedures.

Vulnerable people are described in the Charities Act 2009 as including the aged,
children and young people, the sick and disabled.
