In accordance with the Mission Statement of the school and in compliance with the guidelines from the Department of Education and Skills, we are committed in Mercy Mounthawk to protect the safety of our students.   To this end, we have developed a Child Safeguarding Statement and conducted risk assessments while can be viewed at the links below.

The school safe-guarding statement and procedures are based on the DES guidelines:

Wellbeing in the school and the link with Child-Safeguarding

The approach of the school in relation to Child safeguarding is to support our students in becoming responsible and being aware of the importance of protecting their own and other peoples’ safety, both inter-personally and on line.  This preventative approach is delivered through the SPHE/RSE programme in the school which is part of our  WELLBEING strategy.

Our WELLBEING policy policy is available here:   Mercy Mounthawk WELLBEING Policy RATIFIED 25 Feb 2019
