Caring for our children and vulnerable adults
by Father Gerry Hefferan, Parish Priest
We are blessed to have Clare Kennedy as our Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Representative in the parish. Her photo, explanation and contact details are on the church wall. You can contact Clare, at any time, on 0418 717 835 if there is anything that may concern you or require clarification.
All matters will be dealt with in a sensitive and confidential manner.
Lisa Harrison becomes our Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Representative if Clare is away at any time. Lisa’s photo and phone contact are placed in the church and on our webpage, and her contact number is placed in the parish newsletter.
Our whole community always needs to be aware of the dangers of grooming in the church and Australian society. And how some potential abusers want to be noticed first, so that they can be trusted, and later gain access to children. They take time to groom people.
It can be difficult for us to understand such a scary and terrible mindset. Yet it happens.
We want to look after our children and vulnerable adults. We want them to be safe.
We want to stop any loopholes where grooming abusers and potential abusers gain access.
