CODE OF CONDUCT FOR CARING FOR
CHILDREN IN OUR PARISH
General Principles
• Provide children with guidance about acceptable
behaviour and give directions to manage behaviour
which is disruptive or unacceptable.
• The use of tobacco and illicit drugs is unacceptable as is
the provision of these substances to a child. The misuse
of medication is also unacceptable.
• Avoid inappropriate physical conduct and language.
• Take care not to form inappropriate relationships with
children in your activities. It is always the responsibility of
the adult, not the child or young person, to set
appropriate boundaries.
• Avoid favouritism.
• Always maintain an open and transparent environment
when you are with children. It is best practice to always
have another adult with you and in activities where you
must work one on one you should remain in view of
other people at all times.
• Overnight stays involve additional responsibilities with
feeding and supervised sleeping arrangements.
• Report any situation which causes you concern.
• Call 000 for any emergencies.
• Ask for guidance if you are not sure what to do.
• The Code of Conduct sets out how you may report a
matter and the procedure which will be followed.
50TH WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY
This Sunday 8th May. Some copies of Pope Francis’ message,
‘Communication and Mercy’, available in the Cathedral foyer.
MASS: Action of Christ. The celebration of Mass, as
the action of Christ and of the People of God arrayed
hierarchically, is the centre of the whole of Christian life
for the Church both universal and local, as well as for
each of the faithful individually. For in it is found the
high point both of the action by which God sanctifies the
world in Christ and of the worship that the human race
offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son
of God, in the Holy Spirit.
