Safeguarding

The Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP) is committed to safeguarding as an
integral part of its life and ministry within the church. This commitment directly relates
to the fact that we are all made in the image of God and the Church’s common belief
in the preciousness, dignity and uniqueness of every human life.

Following the safeguarding review of the Catholic Church in England & Wales,
conducted in 2020, we are committed to the One Church Approach to safeguarding
by implementing the changes needed and ensuring we respond to victims/survivors
promptly and compassionately.

Through our ministerial activities, we seek to embed a culture where all those within
our parishes and church communities, or those participating in our pastoral activities,
are safe from harm and abuse.

As a Registered Affiliate of the Religious Life Safeguarding Service (RLSS), our
safeguarding practices align with the eight national Safeguarding Standards, the
national policies and associated best practice guidance for the Catholic Church in
England and Wales. Our affiliation with the RLSS is one way in which we
demonstrate our commitment to safeguarding.
