If you have a question, wish to report a concern, or simply want to learn more about how we keep our community safe, please reach out to our diocesan safeguarding leads. We have a Diocesan Lead and each Parish has a nominated Lead. They are here to listen, support, and ensure that our policies are put into practice every day.
