Health and Safety
Our Archdiocese is a community of the faithful – clergy, lay people, employees and volunteers who sustain
the Church and support its mission. Together we worship, celebrate the sacraments and engage in a wide
range of pastoral and practical work. In so doing, our aim always is to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ.
One of our key missions is to keep people safe and this applies to all activities and settings in our
Archdiocese. Our activities take place in Churches, halls, offices, residences and a range of other places.
This document details the Health & Safety arrangements which apply to our Church communities in order to
protect everyone.
This handbook contains the Health & Safety information you require to comply with our Health & Safety
Policy, all clergy and employees are required to read this guidance document.
