Dear Community Members,

I hope you are all keeping very well. It was great to see some of your familiar faces at the Celtic Knot Celebration day this week.

I am reaching out to share *Wikimedia Community Ireland's Draft Child Protection Policy* with you. This will be important for us to have in place as we continue to apply to be invovled with EU Commission Projects and continue to collaborate with secondary schools and youth groups in Ireland.

Please find the draft policy on Wikimedia Commons linked below and have a read of it before our *Community Meeting next Tuesday, September 30th at 6 pm.* At the meeting we would love to hear any contributions you may have and discuss it further before voting on it as a community.
