Posted by The Society of The Divine Word (SVD) in the Irish British Province (IBP) is unwavering in its commitment to safeguarding both children and adults. This commitment is intrinsically linked to the belief that every individual is created in the image of God, aligning with the Church’s collective reverence for the sanctity, dignity, and uniqueness of every human life. Our foundational premise rests upon the assertion that each person possesses the fundamental right to expect the highest standards of protection, affection, support, and reverence.
Building upon the insights gained from safeguarding reviews conducted in 2020, we wholeheartedly endorse the One Church Approach to safeguarding. In embracing this approach, we are resolute in effecting the necessary changes to our procedures, ensuring a prompt and compassionate response to victim/survivors’ needs.
