Child Protection Policy
We, the Irish Film Institute, are committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of children and
young people while they are participating in events run by or on behalf of IFI. Our aim is
to create a safe, creative and fun environment where children and young people across all
levels can engage with the artform of film and where their welfare is paramount. To
realise this aim, we will adhere to the recommendations of Children First: National
Guidelines for the Protection and Welfare of Children, published by the Department of
Heath and Children. We operate a code of good practice for all our staff, sub-contractors
interns and volunteers working with children and young people at IFI or IFI events and
have implemented procedures to cover the following:
- Reporting of suspected or disclosed abuse (see Appendix 1 in the Child Protection Policy Document for categories of abuse)
- Confidentiality
- Recruitment and selecting staff, interns and volunteers
- Managing and supervising staff, interns and volunteers
- Involvement of primary carers
- Allegations of misconduct or abuse by staff
- Complaints and comments
- Incidents and accidents
Our Child Protection policy, procedures and practice will be reviewed on a regular basis.
