Safeguarding all Children and Vulnerable Adults

The safety of all people in our care, particularly children and vulnerable adults, is a fundamental concern for the Loreto Province of Australia and South East Asia.  

Loreto is committed to providing a caring, nurturing and safe environment for all children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with disabilities, young people and vulnerable adults in Australia and overseas locations where Loreto operates.

Loreto has a Professional Standards Officer who, with regard to the safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults: 

  • advises Loreto Province on best practice approaches 
  • handles complaints 
  • ensures compliance with standards and legislation 
  • ensures compliance with Loreto Province policy and procedures 

Loreto is committed to the National Catholic Safeguarding Standards (NCSS)  framework for Catholic Church entities to build child-safe cultures and to advance the safety of children across the Catholic Church in Australia.
