We will be  introducing our 2019 Safeguarding teams shortly.  Details will be announced within the weekly Newsletters and published within this page. Any safeguarding concerns in the interim should be addressed to the Parish Secretary. We take all concerns seriously and have processes in place to best handle them.

The Catholic Safeguarding Advisory Service (CSAS) emphasises that Safeguarding goes to the very heart of the ministry and mission of our Catholic Church. Safeguarding is about nurturing wellbeing, helping individuals realise their potential and of course it is about ensuring everyone is safe and protected from harm and abuse. 

The Catholic Church through the NCSC conducts an annual National survey centred around the subject of best practice with regards to Safeguarding.  The 2017 report findings provide a transparent 

insight into Safeguarding matters and how they are measured and remedied . The report can be seen by following the link below .

The parish of Our Lady of Hal  participates in the EduCare  programme. This brings to our Community and the wider church  an e-learning package which raises awareness throughout the Catholic Community in England and Wales. The e-learning package is part of the Church’s commitment to safeguarding, and is available to all members of the Catholic community.
