WelCom June/July 2021
Te Kupenga – Catholic Theological College in collaboration with the National Office of Professional Standards have developed an online Safeguarding course for all people working in Catholic ministry.
The New Zealand Catholic Bishops are committed to fostering a culture of safeguarding in the Church. As a Catholic community, we each have a responsibility: to value all people and protect them from harm; create environments where people are welcome and safe.
The course is specifically for those involved in ministry in the Catholic Church, whether in a paid or voluntary role. For more information go to: tinyurl.com/Safeguarding-TPK
