Safeguarding Workshop on Tuesday May 6th from 7pm -8.30pm - St Patrick's Church, Kaiapoi

Safeguarding Workshop attendance is a requirement every three years for all volunteers, religious and staff in Catholic Parishes and Faith Communities in New Zealand. Existing volunteers, regardless of role, are required to attend a safeguarding workshop every three years.   Safeguarding Training forms part of inductions for new or prospective volunteers, religious and staff. It is a top priority of the Catholic Church to continue to commit to implementing and maintaining cultures of safeguarding, in order to keep our children, our vulnerable adults and all who serve and worship in our communities safe from harm.  Cultures of safeguarding are a shared responsibility.  The Church has zero tolerance for harm and abuse.
