STM Children and Young People Safeguarding Notice
We are committed to a safe and nurturing culture for all children in our Church.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, together with our Parish holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children as central and fundamental responsibilities of the Church. This commitment is drawn from and inherent to the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ, with love, justice and the sanctity of each human person at the heart
of the Gospel.
We want our children to be safe, happy and empowered.
We have zero tolerance of child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated seriously and reported in line with our legal obligations, our moral obligations and our Church policies.
We are committed to preventing child abuse and identifying risks early and then reducing or removing them.
