SafeguardingPolicy Statement by the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland:The Catholic Church in Scotland is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness and wellbeing of each individual person within God’s purpose for everyone. It seeks to safeguard the welfare of children and young people who are involved in whatever capacity with the Church and its organisations. As a Church community, we accept that it is the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and voluntary members to work together to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect of children, young people and vulnerable adults Information regarding Galloway Diocese's safeguarding review can be found here Scottish Catholic Safeguarding Service274 Bath Street GLASGOW G2 4JR Telephone: 0141 332 7177 Information Line Tel/Fax: 0141 353 1177 National Safeguarding Co-ordinator: Tina Campbell Email: tcampbell@scottishcatholicsafeguarding.org.uk Website: www.scsafeguarding.org.uk Diocesan Safeguarding AdviserMr Tony Fisher; Diocesan Office, 8 Corsehill Road, Ayr, KA7 2ST Telephone: 01292 266750 Email: safeguarding@gallowaydiocese.org.uk Click here for more information on Counselling Support Safeguarding Matters and Safeguarding BulletinsSafeguarding Matters newsletter and safeguarding bulletins can be found on the news page.
