SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN: To Report a Concern: If you wish to share a concern to do with any member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SS.CC.) please contact our Designated Liaison Person (DLP): HSE - Tusla - Department of Children & Health In the Republic of Ireland, the State body immediately responsible for the safeguarding of all children is TUSLA. On 1st January 2014 the Child and Family Agency became an independent legal entity. It is now THE dedicated State agency responsible for improving wellbeing and outcomes for children. While the word borrows from the Irish words ‘tús’ + ‘lá’, Tusla is a completely new word bringing together two Irish words to symbolise a completely new way of working in addressing the needs of children in the State. In 2018 TUSLA published their audits on the Religious Orders of Ireland. The audit reports for the Brothers and Sisters of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary can be found at the following links: HSE (TUSLA) Audit Report - SSCC Sisters Published February 2018 (Go to Page 878) In 2016, this document was published by the National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland. (Click here to View) The brothers and sisters of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jersus and Mary have signed up to the Catholic Church in Ireland's policy and therefore this document now stands as THE standard we strive to achieve at all times in our efforts to keep children safe in all areas of our ministry and daily life. a.
