  • Sharing information about child protection and good practice with children, parents, staff, volunteers, clergy and religious.
  • Sharing information about concerns with agencies who need to know, and involving parents and children appropriately.
  • Following carefully the procedures for Recruiting, Training and Managing staff and volunteers, clergy and religious.

We are also committed to reviewing our policy and good practice procedures on an annual basis.
