CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL
SAFEGUARDING SERVICESSafeguarding
Our Parish is committed to Safeguarding.
All children and at-risk people who come to Wodonga Catholic Parish have a right to feel and be safe.
Zero Tolerance to Abuse
The welfare of children and all vulnerable people in our parish community will always be our first priority, we have a zero tolerance to abuse and aim to create a safe and friendly environment where children, the vulnerable, and all people feel safe in our parish community.
Wodonga Catholic Parish upholds the importance of the safety and well-being of children and all people of differing abilities. We empower families, children, young people, staff and all parishioners to have a voice and raise concerns where necessary.
WCP Parish
Wodonga Catholic Parish staff and volunteers encourage children and at-risk persons to express their views.
We listen to their suggestions, especially on matters that directly affect them.
We actively encourage all children and at-risk persons who use our services to ‘have a say’ about things that are
important to them. We encourage parents and carers to teach children and at-risk persons what they can do if they feel unsafe.
We listen to and act on concerns children and at-risk persons, or their parents/carers, raise with us.
We value diversity and inclusiveness in our Parish.
