Child Safety Week

Catholic schools and parishes across the Diocese of Sale will unite to celebrate Child Safety Week from 3-10 September 2023.

This year, Catholic schools and parishes are sharing their innovative child safety projects through a video and resource titled, Child Safety in Action in the Diocese of Sale.

The Bishop of Sale, Most Reverend Greg Bennet and Director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale, Mr Paul Velten commend Catholic schools and parishes in the Diocese of Sale for their efforts to keep young people safe. Many of the projects in this video have been developed by young people with the support of their schools and parishes which reflect the Victorian Child Safe Standard 3: Student voice and empowerment.
