Safeguarding Policy
“The Church loves all her children like a loving mother, but cares for all and protects with a special affection those who are smallest and defenceless. This is the duty that Christ himself entrusted to the entire Christian community.”
(Apostolic Letter issued ‘motu proprio’ by the Supreme Pontiff Francis, 4 June 2016)
The Archdiocesan Safeguarding Policy can be found at:brisbanecatholic.org.au/assets/uploads/Safeguarding-Policy.pdf
Each Parish in the Archdiocese of Brisbane has been asked to appoint a Local Safeguarding Representative who is responsible for:
- Making sure that the whole parish is aware of the importance of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
- Promoting safe practices including articulating for others what is appropriate and inappropriate behaviour; and
- Assisting the Parish Priest/Administrator in the implementation of the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Policy in the Parish
