Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth - Our Safeguarding Commitment Statement

Safeguarding children and adults at risk – Australia and New Zealand

The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth, in partnership with Nazareth Care, is committed to safeguarding. We insist upon a zero-tolerance approach to abuse and neglect by anyone connected to Nazareth.

The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth and Nazareth Care uphold the dignity of all and are committed to promoting and maintaining safe and supportive environments, particularly for children and adults at risk.

We recognize the role of families and community in safeguarding children and adults at risk and welcome their input on how to improve the way we protect and interact with them.

Our commitment stems from our belief in the dignity of every person and the founding vision and Gospel values of the Congregation.
