The remaining provisions of the Children First Act, 2015 came
into force on 11 December 2017. The Department of Education and
Skills Circular 0081/2017 provides guidance to school authorities
and school personnel on the new statutory obligations under the Act
and the continued application of best practice as outlined in the
updated Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and
Welfare of Children 2017.
From 11 March 2018, the requirement to have a Child Safeguarding
Statement replaces the previous requirement to have a child
protection policy which was in place under the previous Child
Protection Procedures for Primary and Post-Primary Schools
published in 2011.

website and can be accessed here. Templates for your
school's Child Safeguarding Risk and Statement can be
