SAFEGUARDING

The parish has a dedicated team of safeguarding representatives. All are trained and absolutely committed to our Diocese Safeguarding Policy. Contact Will or Evelyn Duggan for further information concerning our checks and processes.

The Catholic Safeguarding Advisory Service (CSAS) emphasises that Safeguarding goes to the very heart of the ministry and mission of our Catholic Church. Safeguarding is about nurturing wellbeing, helping individuals realise their potential and of course it is about ensuring everyone is safe and protected from harm and abuse. 

The Catholic Church through the NCSC conducts an annual National survey centred around the subject of best practice with regards to Safeguarding.  The reports provide a transparent 

insight into Safeguarding matters and how they are measured and remedied . The reports can be seen by following the link below .

The parish of Our Lady and St Michael's  participates in the EduCare  programme. This brings to our Community and the wider church  an e-learning package which raises awareness throughout the Catholic Community in England and Wales. The e-learning package is part of the Church’s commitment to safeguarding, and is available to all members of the Catholic community.
