The Child Protection Procedures for Schools 2025 have been published on 28/05/2025, and MPEB, as before, participated in developing these very important procedures.
The 2023 procedures remain in place until schools formally adopt 2025 procedures. Schools must have adopted the 2025 procedures by 31 December 2026 and can implement the updated procedures at any point prior to this date.
In relation to the publication, we would like to share the following with you:
The whole-school, face-to-face training will commence in September 2025 across primary, post-primary and special schools. The updated procedures are required to be adopted by schools no later than 31st December 2026. The date has been extended 3 months to allow for and ensure that all training will be completed.
Furhter information is on www.gov.ie/childprotectionschools.
