We are offering a number of online safeguarding workshops in 2026.
The aim of the New Zealand Diocese’s is to provide a consistent culture of safeguarding in our faith communities, enabling everyone to enjoy the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. Safeguarding practices have become the norm in society for organisations which work with children and vulnerable adults. Safeguarding is about keeping everyone safe from harm, trauma and abuse, whether it be emotional, physical, or sexual.
We are all responsible for developing safe practices at all levels within the Church. Safeguarding applies to volunteers as well as to employees, priests, religious, lay pastoral leaders and anyone in ministry which involves children or vulnerable adults. It requires collaboration, vigilance and a proactive approach through policies, procedures and practices.
Register with Kevin Plant by emailing k.plant@cadw.nz. The MS Teams link to join the workshop will be sent out two days prior to the Workshop.
