CHILD PROTECTION STATEMENT
The festival committee believe that every child regardless of age has
at all times and in all situations a right to feel safe & protected, and
we will take the following steps to ensure same:
1. We accept that it is our responsibility as a group to check that
all adults with substantial access to children have been appro-
priately vetted.
2. We will hold a register of every child involved with the group
and have a contact name and number in the case of emer-
gencies
3. Treat everyone with respect and respect a child’s right to per-
sonal privacy.
4. Remember that some issues are confidential.
5. Tack action to stop any inappropriate verbal or physical be-
haviour
6. Ensure a group policy is in place for the collection of children
after rehearsals and competitions have finished (all children
must be picked up by a parent or pre-approved adult. Chil-
dren permitted to walk home must bring in written authorisa-
tion from a parent or guardian.)
7. Encourage children to respect and care for others.
8. Upon receipt of any information from a child or suspicions, we
will record what has been seen or heard accurately at the
time the event occurs
9. We will where possible ensure that activities take place in a
group format.

WELCOME TO FEIS 2016
Dear Patrons
We are very excited about our 12th Annual Cultural
Festival. Every year we find our festival growing. Last
year was the first in the fabulous new Termon Complex
and this year should be even bigger and better.
We have added a short film category for all ages and
an adult poetry and drama section- so come on all
you parents and teachers, show the kids what you can
do!
We are sorry to hear that the wonderful Feis
Fermanagh will not be taking place in 2016. We hope
to see it back stronger than ever, in 2017! Hopefully we
can, in some small way, fill a gap for the talented
young people in the area.
So with respected adjudicators, medals and trophies
second to none and a fantastic venue, we hope that
you will give us your support in 2016!
Siobhan O'Brien
Chairperson-Borderline Players
