Safeguarding Officer

 

Westminster Diocese adopts, promotes and implements policies for the protection of children and vulnerable adults. St Lawrence’s Parish policies incorporate Diocesan guidelines.

Our Safeguarding Officer works to ensure we comply with these policies, and receives training for his role. One of his duties is to arrange for all persons who work with our younger parishioners or vulnerable adults to be given clearance by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
