Our Principles 

  


The Diocese is underpinned by the knowledge that safeguarding is a shared responsibility that prioritises the care, protection and best interests of children and adults at risk. By providing a safe environment, actively identifying and managing risk, and complying with the Safeguarding policy, guidelines and legal obligations, we serve Jesus and uphold human dignity as the foundation of our faith.
Our values are at the core of who we are and what we do. We strive to embed our values through our decisions and actions.
  • Courage – to be strong, act responsively and persist through adversity

  • Compassion – to work with understanding, empathy, respect and care

  • Honesty – to reflect truthfulness, transparency, integrity, fairness and constancy
