Safeguarding Resources and Toolkit

Within the Archdiocese, safeguarding includes actions undertaken to promote protection and well-being of those who engage with the Archdiocese and to prevent abuse. Read more here.

The Archdiocese has zero tolerance for all forms of abuse and is committed to safeguarding everyone involved in its activities, ministries, and services.

The safety and well-being of children and adults-at-risk is paramount.

Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults

Each Parish in the Archdiocese of Brisbane has a Local Safeguarding Representative who is responsible for:

  • Ensuring the whole parish is aware of the importance of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
  • Promoting safe practices, including articulating appropriate and inappropriate behaviour.
  • Assisting the Parish Administrator in implementing the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Policy within the parish.

The Archdiocesan Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Prevention & Protection Policy can be found at this link.

Volunteers are required to renew their training every two years and can do so via the Safeguarding Training page. In the near future, all volunteers will be able to access training through the Arch-e-learn system.
