Safeguarding/ Child Protection
Designated Liaison Persons (DLP & DDLP)
Both public and private organisations that are providing services to children must appoint a designated liaison person in keeping with best practice in child safeguarding. This person will be the resource person for any staff member or volunteer who has child protection concerns and will liaise with outside agencies. The designated liaison person should be knowledgeable about child protection and should be provided with any training considered necessary to fulfil this role.
The designated liaison person is responsible for ensuring that reporting procedures within your organisation are followed, so that child welfare and protection concerns are referred promptly to Tusla.
The name and contact details of the designated liaison person should be made available to all staff and volunteers working within your organisation. It may also be useful to appoint a deputy designated liaison person who will assume responsibility when the designated liaison person is not available or on leave.
The Designated Liaison Person in Bush Post Primary is Mr. Kevin Joyce and the Deputy Designated Liaison Person is Ms. Rosanna Hart.
