Safeguarding...
Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. (Matthew 18:5)
Safeguarding is at the heart of our ministry.
The Naas Union of Parishes, the incumbent, select vestry, clergy, staff and volunteers are committed to creating a church where children, young people and vulnerable adults are welcomed, valued and kept safe. Every person should be able to participate in the life of the Church in an environment of care, respect and protection.
