St Mary's Catholic Church Safeguarding Policy St Mary's Catholic Church is committed to the Safeguarding Policies of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from any form of abuse or maltreatment and to promote a safe environment for them.
This
commitment flows from the fact that we are all made in the image of God
and the Church's common belief in the dignity and uniqueness of
every human life.
We
start from the principle that each person has a right to expect the
highest level of care and protection, love, encouragement and
respect that we can give.
We
will liaise closely and openly with statutory agencies to ensure that
any concerns or allegations of abuse that are raised are promptly
reported and properly investigated, victims supported and
perpetrators held to account.
