Safeguarding at Holy Family Parish
Safeguarding is promoting an environment which respects and acknowledges the dignity of each human being, and where people feel valued and safe. An important aspect of safeguarding is responding to concerns of harm or abuse. Pope Francis has made it clear he expects the Catholic Church on every level to implement whatever steps are necessary to ensure the protection of children and vulnerable adults and to respond to their needs with fairness and mercy. The Catholic Church in Aotearoa New Zealand has adopted the “Guidelines for the prevention of and response to sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Aotearoa New Zealand” (National Safeguarding Guidelines). This policy is part of a national strategy to implement the National Safeguarding Guidelines.
Your safeguarding officers,
