Safeguarding the Ipswich Catholic Community
At the Ipswich Catholic Community, we are committed to ensuring our community is a safe place for our parishioners and those we encounter. The following policies are in place at the Ipswich Catholic Community and are in accordance with policies of the Archdiocese of Brisbane.
“The Archdiocese of Brisbane holds that children, young people and vulnerable adults are a gift from God with an intrinsic right to dignity of life, respect and security from physical and emotional harm. They are to be treasured, nurtured and safeguarded by all.”
