Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is seeking to develop a panel of freelance Workshop Facilitators to deliver workshops to schools and family audiences. They may also work with the Education Department to develop other activities for young visitors. Facilitators will be paid a fee on a per-session basis.

Safeguarding Trust Panel Members

Voluntary / Governance

Under the constitution of the Church of Ireland, each individual church and cathedral is required to have a Safeguarding Trust Panel (STP) chaired by the incumbent. In Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, this Panel forms a subcommittee of the Board and is chaired by the Dean. The Panel has a role in the oversight and support of the Safeguarding Officer and in supporting the Safeguarding Officer in ensuring implementation of the Cathedral’s bespoke Child Protection Policy.

We are looking for volunteers to join the Safeguarding Trust Panel. The Panel meets approximately every two months in a hybrid (online/in person) manner. People with previous experience working with children or in any other safeguarding-related context are strongly encouraged to put themselves forward.

For more information, please contact Clark Brydon (Education & Safeguarding Officer) for further information.
