Rainbows Ireland is committed to providing a safe environment for children and young people. Children’s welfare and safety is of paramount importance. Rainbows Ireland adheres strictly to Children First: National Guidelines for Child Protection and Welfare 2017.

Key message: If a child indicates or tells a Rainbows Facilitator in a group that they are being harmed, or harming themselves or causing harm to someone else , the Facilitator will follow Child Protection policy and procedures. Parents are informed if this situation arise unless it puts a child or young person at further risk .

Parents/guardians are children’s primary carers. We ask you to take some time to read our guidelines and programme information contained in this website.

If you have any questions or concerns you can talk to Rainbows Ireland CEO, the Designated Person for Child Protection.
