	Review of Safeguarding Practice in the Archdiocese of Tuam Undertaken by the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church NBSCCC Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tuam November 30, 2011 http://tuamarchdiocese.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Tuam-Audit-by-the-National-Board.pdf Background The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church (NBSCCC) was asked by the Sponsoring Bodies, namely the Episcopal Conference, the Conference of Religious of Ireland and the Irish Missionary Union, to undertake a comprehensive review of safeguarding practice within and across all the Church authorities on the island of Ireland. The purpose of the review is to confirm that current safeguarding practice complies with the Standards set down within the guidance issued by the Sponsoring Bodies in February 2009, and that all known allegations and concerns had been appropriately dealt with. To achieve this task, safeguarding practice in each Church authority is to be reviewed through an examination of case records and through interviews with key personnel involved both within and external to the archdiocese or other authority. This report contains the findings of the Review of Safeguarding Practice within the Archdiocese of Tuam undertaken by the NBSCCC in line with the request made to it by the Sponsoring Bodies. It is based upon the case material made available to us by the archdiocese along with interviews with selected key personnel who contribute to safeguarding within the archdiocese. The NBSCCC believes that all relevant documentation for these cases was passed to the Reviewers, and the archdiocese has confirmed this.
