Everyone who comes to St Mary’s should feel safe, respected and cared for, especially children, young people and vulnerable adults.
At St Mary’s Syro-Malabar Mission, Newcastle, we are committed to creating and maintaining a safe, caring and respectful environment for everyone, especially the children, young people and vulnerable people entrusted to our care.
Our Safeguarding Team makes sure every ministry, activity and gathering in our mission upholds the highest standards of respect, responsibility and care, in line with Church and diocesan safeguarding practice.
Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is the first person to speak to about any concern, for guidance or for support.
If someone is at immediate risk of harm, call 000 first. Then let our Safeguarding Officer know.
These volunteers serve our community and are here to listen.
