This parish lives and works within the guidance laid out in the Safeguarding Trust - Child Protection Policy of the Church of Ireland.

Within that policy all people wishing to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults are required to acquaint themselves with that policy, attend necessary training and complete the Access NI process. 

An online application process is the only way to make an Access NI application since April 2015.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please Note that the Access NI application is a TWO step process.

Step one: Complete the online application. (This will be lodged automatically and immediately to the online account of the Board of Education for processing.)

Step two: Complete the PIN notification and ID validation form and that form must then be submitted in person to the Rector or another member of the Parish Panel Team before the application can be processed.
