The Parish of St Thomas More Bateman and the Archdiocese of Perth are committed to the care, wellbeing and protection of children, young people and people at risk in our community. Mindful of the theme for National Child Protection Week, may we work to build and support safe communities for all people.

Safeguarding Sunday gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of Safeguarding within the Church community to create a safe environment for everyone to flourish. Through the Safeguarding program initiative, we work together offering support and assistance to build a Church of trust, safety, inclusion and respect for all, especially our children and adults at risk. Our Parish has four Safeguarding Officers who have volunteered their services to achieving this goal.
