Our Parish
Safeguarding
The safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults is a fundamental responsibility of our parish. We are committed to safeguarding practices that promote dignity, respect, and protection for all.
Our Commitment
St Joseph Parish follows the safeguarding policies and procedures of the Archdiocese of Southwark. We seek
to provide a safe environment for everyone who worships, volunteers, or participates in parish activities.
All clergy, staff, and volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults are required to follow diocesan safeguarding guidance and, where appropriate, complete DBS checks.
