Safeguarding

A Culture of Safeguarding

The Congregation is committed to enabling positive change and to protect and promote the fundamental human rights of girls, women and children.  We are committed to providing an environment that serves the best interests and developmental needs of children and persons with vulnerabilities.

We strive for the highest standards of professional care and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as well as Congregational guiding principles through its charism and spirit.  All sisters and associated people of the Congregation are required to abide by these standards.
