SAFEGUARDING

The church community in this parish is called to share the good news of God’s love for all people. This good news speaks of welcome for all, with particular regard for those who are most vulnerable, into a community where the value and dignity of every human being is affirmed and those in positions of responsibility and authority are trustworthy. Being faithful to our call to share the gospel therefore compels us to take seriously the challenge of preventing abuse from happening and responding well when it has.
