What else is happening?
All Diocesan agencies can access a variety of dedicated resources on the Office of Safeguarding website. These resources are designed to equip our staff and young people with the skills and strategies to identify, respond to, and seek assistance in a range of unsafe situations.
We will continue to add resources in the lead-up to National Child Protection Week, so be sure to check back regularly for more information on how you can get involved.
