The Archdiocese of Brisbane holds that children, young people and vulnerable adults are a gift from God with an intrinsic right to dignity of life, respect and security from physical and emotional harm. They are to be treasured, nurtured and safeguarded.

Our parish, in line with the Archdiocese of Brisbane’s Safeguarding Policy, has zero tolerance for all forms of abuse and is committed to safeguarding all who interact with the parish through its activities, ministries and services, especially children and adults at risk.

Each Parish in the Archdiocese of Brisbane has 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 and staff in the implementation of the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy in the Parish
