Sisters of Charity of St. Paul the Apostle Safeguarding Policy 

We are a community of Catholic Religious Women who endeavour to live the Gospel way of life. 
 
Being faithful to the inspiration of our Foundress Genevieve Dupuis and our Patron St Paul, we are rooted in Christ and are committed to living in a spirit of charity, simplicity and joy, using our resources to promote wholeness and justice. 
 
This commitment is based on our belief that each person is made in the image of God and, on the Catholic Church’s belief in the dignity, preciousness and uniqueness of every human being and in the sacredness of creation and, is therefore deserving of respect. 
 
The Sisters pf Charity of St Paul the Apostle are fully committed to observing the Safeguarding Policies of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, and in line with the standards, policies and procedures enunciated by the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA). We promote a culture of vigilance, transparency and accountability, ensuring that all concerns are taken seriously an addressed promptly.

Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency Survey into the Church's engagement with abuse survivors 
 
The Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) is conducting a thematic inspection on survivor engagement and support across Religious Life Groups and Dioceses. The purpose of the public survey is to invite survivors to contribute their experiences of contact with a Religious Life Group or Diocese following abuse. The experiences may be new or ongoing, as well as those connected to non-recent abuse. The information will be used to gain a better understanding of survivor's experience with church bodies, share best practice and to develop ways to improve this experience for both survivors and church leaders.

Information about the survey Public Calls for Informatio 
 
“The Catholic Life Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) has asked every Diocese and Religious Life Group to help share a new survey inviting everyone engaged with the Catholic Church including Clergy, Religious, Parish, Safeguarding Representatives, Employees, Volunteers and parishioners to contribute their experiences. The aim of this survey is to understand better how the Catholic Church engages with survivors. 
 
This process is being conducted with transparency, respect and in a survivor-centred way enabling CSSA to identify good practice and areas for improvement across the Church.”
