Corio Lara Catholic Parish is committed to the safety and well-being of all people, especially children and vulnerable adults. This commitment is inherent to the mission of our parish and the Catholic Church. A culture of safety within the Church ensures that children and vulnerable adults can actively and fully participate in the life of the Church and realise their potential in a faith community. This commitment extends to clergy, employees and volunteers within the jurisdiction of the Parish, regardless of their role or level of responsibility. We strive to promote a culture of safety as well as ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
