Children and Vulnerable Persons Safeguarding Policy

Within the parish of Our Lady of All Nations, Flemington and Kensington, all our volunteers in our various parish ministries are required to comply with the Child Safety Standards set by the Archdiocese of Melbourne. This includes obtaining a current WWCC, signing a Code of Conduct, doing an online training course and for certain roles you may need to obtain a police check. Please find below the links to the requirements you still need to fulfill to be compliant. We really don’t wish to lose you as one of our valued volunteers, so if you could please get your details updated by the end of August that would be most appreciated.
