Safeguarding Update The “Kildare & Leighlin Safeguarding Children Policy and Procedures” first published by our Diocese in 2009 has recently been updated (February 2013). Since the first edition was published, the diocese has experienced two major independent reviews by the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland and by the HSE. Both reviews highlighted the very sound policy foundation that was laid down in the first edition. Both reviews made a series of recommendations that have been fully incorporated into the second edition. A key recommendation was that all following the publication of the updated edition, all personnel involved in child safeguarding activities should come together to draw up a five year diocesan safeguarding plan. The purpose of this plan is to ensure the continued implementation and monitoring of the Policy and Procedures. The process of drawing up this plan is currently underway; it will be published in the near future. Following the publication of the Policy & Procedures, a number of seminars were organised around the diocese so that all priests, parish staff and parish safeguarding representatives could be updated on the new policy and procedures. All members of the Parish Team here in Newbridge attended one of these seminars. The next step is to gather all those involved in activities with children and young people in the parish and to update them on the practical aspects of keeping our children and young people safe. We cherish and affirm each child as a gift from God and we wish to take this opportunity to state that we will continue to do all in our power to ensure that all children and young people involved in any parish activity will do so safely. The updated “Kildare & Leighlin Safeguarding Children Policy and Procedures” is available on the diocesan website – www.kandle.ie Know your rights: Question: How much will it cost me to get a copy of my birth certificate?

Volunteering with The Carers Association • Have you experience in a Caring environment? • Do you have 1 or 2 hours available to volunteer each week? • Do you know what it is like to feel isolated and alone in a caring environment? • If so, would you like to support a Family Carer or an older person in a similar situation? • Do you want to be part of a vital service to Family Carers? The Carers Association is currently seeking Volunteers to provide a befriending service to Family Carers in Newbridge. Befriending is a one-to-one, non-judgmental relationship where you can volunteer your time to support and provide companionship to someone. Many people benefit from the support of a befriender at a time of change in their life or when they are socially isolated due to illness or old age. Full training will be provided. Training commencing on the 11th June. For more information on the programme or if interested in becoming a Volunteer please contact Kelly-Ann on 086-0213749 Judge Roy Beans pays it forward Tough economic times and growing poverty in much of Europe has revived a humble tradition that began some one-hundred years ago in the Italian city of Naples. It's called caffè sospeso — "suspended coffee": A customer pays in advance for a person who cannot afford a cup of coffee. The owner of Judge Roy Beans in Newbridge, Vivian Carroll, has taken on the concept and adapted it to suit the situation of homeless people in our town. Although homelessness in Newbridge is not of the same scale as Dublin or other cities there is still a cohort of homeless people who use the Michael Garry House on a regular occasion. Vivian thought that a cup of coffee, though welcome, may not be nourishment enough for a person living rough so he contacted the Michael Garry House to see what might be done. Between them they have come up with a scheme in which Judge Roy’s vegetable supplier will supply goods at cost price to the shelter. So next time you have a coffee there you can either drink one and pay for two or add a donation to the box provided. What a great idea. If any other hostelries are operating a similar scheme please contact us and we will publish your name too.
