This is now widely understood and accepted. What is less clearly understood is the impact that the disclosure of abuse has on the organisation to which the adult belongs. In many cases there is shock and disbelief; an unwillingness to accept the facts, leading in turn to inertia of action and subsequent mismanagement of the situation. It was concerns in relation to possible mismanagement of disclosures of abuse that led to the Government asking the Health Service Executive to conduct an audit of the arrangements for safeguarding children in the Catholic Church in Ireland. The Audit process has been protracted and a number of obstacles, which are detailed within this report, had to be overcome a comprehensive report on the overall state of safeguarding children within the Church Dioceses could be produced. The delay has not been without its benefits in that in making assessment of the safeguarding arrangements we can now the Standards and Guidance Document for the Catholic Church in Ireland issued by the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in February 2009. This document is now the first and key point of reference for all those with responsibility for implementing the Church’s safeguarding policy and procedures. The document enables everyone in the Church to reach a uniform standard of best practice in safeguarding. In this report, the achievement of each diocese in the application of the standards up to November 2011 is analysed as is the information on allegations and information about accused priests as supplied by dioceses in response to audit questionnaires. It is clear that dioceses are at different stages of development but are progressing positively. The analysis of the position in each diocese will facilitate the further development that is needed to achieve the goal that is set out in the Safeguarding document issued by the National Board. It is to this area of activity that any available resources should be targeted. It is crucial that all Church activities are entirely compliant with Children First as re- issued July 2011. It is welcome that the church re-affirmed its commitment to put children first and to do so unequivocally to counter the evidence and belief that child protection was not always seen as the top priority. ________________________________________________________________________ 4 HSE Audit of Safeguarding Arrangements in the Catholic Church in Ireland HSE Audit of Safeguarding Arrangements in the Catholic Church in Ireland ___________________________________________________________________________ This audit and the co-operation of the Church can be of great significance in the journey towards truth and reconciliation. The Church will be further assisted as it publishes the National Safeguarding Board audit reports on a diocese by diocese basis. Society needs to put the protection of children above all other considerations. Only then can the distressing betrayals of trust belong completely in the past. Gordon Jeyes, National Director, Children and Family Services, Health Service Executive July 2012 ________________________________________________________________________ 5 HSE Audit of Safeguarding Arrangements in the Catholic Church in Ireland HSE Audit of Safeguarding Arrangements in the Catholic Church in Ireland ___________________________________________________________________________ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The HSE National Office for Children & Families co-authored this report with the advice and expertise of Dr. Kevin McCoy of McCoy Consulting Ltd, social care consultant to this Audit.
