Safeguarding Policies
What is safeguarding?
“Safeguarding” refers to intentional care of all minors and vulnerable persons and the prevention of all forms of violence against human beings. Our approach expresses our faith that we are all created in God’s image and likeness no matter how small or weak or regardless of the state in which they may find themselves, within our church communities. Other eparchies or dioceses may refer to policies to accomplish this as “Safe Environment” or “Safer Environment” policies. In addition to prevention, the safeguarding of human dignity further requires work towards understanding, healing, and reconciliation, extending the love, mercy, and justice of our God, One in the Holy Trinity.
