Safeguarding at
the Parish of the Holy Family
THE PARISH OF THE HOLY FAMILY IS TOTALLY COMMITTED TO THE SAFEGUARDING OF VULNRABLE GROUPS WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY.
Reporting Abuse
If you are concerned about the welfare of a child or adult at risk, do not delay in contacting the police, using 999 if a child or adult is believed to be in immediate danger.
All volunteers having personal contact with children and adults at risk are required to undergo a DBS clearance in accordance with Diocesan guidelines.
It is the policy of the Catholic Church in England and Wales to report all allegations of abuse to statutory authorities, regardless of whether the abuse occurred recently or in the past, or whether the accused person is living or deceased.
