SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding at St Michael and All Angels
The Parish of St Michael and All Angels, Hereford, is committed to the Safeguarding policies of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, to protect children and vulnerable adults from neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse and to promote a safe environment for them.
This commitment flows from the fact that we are all made in the image of God and the Church's common belief in the dignity and uniqueness of every human life. We start from the principle that each child has a right to expect the highest level of care and protection, love, encouragement and respect that we can give.
