Safe Guarding Project & Parish Officers
The Safeguarding Project
There has been increasing recognition of the existence of child abuse and a growing acceptance of the potential risks to children from individuals working in positions of trust. Greater attention has now been paid to how Church organisations can ensure that the children with whom they are in contact are kept safe from harm. The Perth Catholic Archidiocese is committed to providing safe and secure environments for all its members especially its children, young people and vulnerable individuals.
The Perth Archidiocesan Safeguarding Office was established in November 2014 to develop and implement policies, procedures and activities for safeguarding children and other vulnerable members of the Church. This is in line with the 12 National Standards for creating a child-safe organisation.
