The Sisters of the Holy Family of Bordeaux are involved in many different ministries, many of which include working with children and adults at risk. They are committed to the Safeguarding Policies of the Catholic Church in England, Wales and Ireland and are guided by the procedures for good practice as outlined by the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) (UK) and the National Board in Ireland (NBCCCI).
The Sisters’ aim is to encourage and ensure best practice among all their members and those working with them in their ministry with Children and Adults at risk.
The safeguarding representatives will ensure that any allegations of abuse are promptly reported. That the statutory authorities which may become involved are given the fullest support and that the person against whom an allegation is made receives appropriate care.
The Charity has a full and up to date Adults at Risk Policy which may be available on request.
In the UK the Sisters of Holy Family of Bordeaux have signed a contract with Religious Life Safeguarding Service (RLSS) to implement the findings of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) on the Roman Catholic Church November 2020 and the Elliott Review.
Please take a moment to read our safeguarding policies, and if you have any concerns orquestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
