Safeguarding

The Parish of St. Theresa & Sacred Heart is committed to the protection and safety of all children and young people in its care in the spirit of the Gospel where Jesus says, ‘Anyone who welcomes a little child in my name welcomes Me.’ (Matthew 18:5)

St. Theresa’s parish is run by the Rosminians (IOC) and so its safeguarding is also the responsibility of the Order. The Rosminians (IOC) safeguarding lead is:-
