Pā Maria is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all its employees, visitors, volunteers and particularly to children, aged and vulnerable people.
The Poster from the National Office for Professional Standards displaying the 0800 number for concerns or complaints involving someone within the Catholic Church is clearly displayed in the front foyer of the building.
The document ‘Integrity in Mission’ 2021 from the Catholic Bishops of Aotearoa/New Zealand applies to all working within the Catholic Church including those working at Pā Maria. Here is a link to that document: https://safeguarding.catholic.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2019/03/Integrity-in-Ministry-edition-January-2021.pdf
