At Owenabue Medical Centre, in our role of providing healthcare to
children we maintain our commitment to safeguard all children.
Safeguarding children involves all of our staff members commiting to
providing our services to children in a manner that ensures, and at
no time compromises, child safety. It also involves all staff
members, clinical and non-clinical, maintaining vigilance regarding
the identification of children who are unable and reporting concerns
to the child protection agency if indicated.
Clinical staff at Owenabue Medical Centre are mandated persons and
as such are required by law to report any concerns regarding child
safety that they may identify.
Owenabue Medical Centre has a comprehensive Safeguarding Children
policy in accordance with the Children First Act 2015.
