A Special Acknowledgment to Our Parish Safeguarding Team We want to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for our Parish Safeguarding Team. This dedicated group works closely with the Diocese to ensure that all individuals wishing to engage in parish life are supported safely and responsibly.

DBS Requirements
As part of our commitment to safeguarding, every volunteer engaged in ministry must undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This process is mandatory for all parishes in the Diocese and ensures that we uphold the highest standards of safety and protection for our vulnerable members.
We warmly welcome and thank all volunteers who have renewed their DBS checks or recently completed the initial process.
Your willingness to engage in this critical step is greatly valued, and it reflects your dedication to the safety and welfare of our parish community.
Prioritising Safeguarding
Safeguarding is a top priority for both our parish and the Archdiocese. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. By working together and adhering to safeguarding protocols, we can ensure that our parish remains a place of safety, support, and spiritual growth.
Thank you once again for your priceless contributions to St. Teresa Parish. Your ministry makes a difference, and we look forward to continuing this journey of faith and service together.
With gratitude, And my blessing,
Canon Michael
