Our Safeguarding Statement

 

The Charity of the Order of the Regular Canonesses
of the Holy Sepulchre of our Lord
Registered Charity Number 1167869

 

 

First and foremost, we are committed to living in the spirit of the gospels.  In practice this means that we strive to live as Christ lived, aware that he showed respect for each person he met.  Our focus on the Holy Sepulchre leads us to prioritise people living in ‘dark situations’ and to do all we can to bring light to their lives.  The sepulchre was found to be empty and to be the place of resurrection – the place of hope.  These priorities lead us to be fully committed to the Safeguarding Policies of the Catholic Church in England and Wales and to do all we can to promote each person’s safety & wellbeing.  We follow the guidance and directives of both the Religious Life Safeguarding Service (RLSS) and the Catholic Safeguarding Safeguarding Agency (CSSA) and encourage all who are part of our Religious Life group to be vigilant and respectful in all matters relating to Safeguarding.
