Safeguarding Sunday

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, IS THE DIOCESE ANNUAL SAFEGUARDING SUNDAY.

This year, the Diocese has decided on a theme for the day. It is ‘Safeguarding – A Gospel Value’.

We ensure that diocesan safeguarding policies and practices are followed in this parish. The practices that we put in place in this parish, as in all parishes in the diocese, to keep children and vulnerable adults safe include such measures as:

- Choosing carefully those who work with children and vulnerable adults in our parish, which includes vetting of those involved;

- Ensuring parish workers and volunteers behave appropriately towards children and vulnerable adults;

- Making proper arrangements for activities involving children and vulnerable adults, including ensuring adequate supervision of such activities.

Our safeguarding team can be contacted through the parish office.
