About the Webinar

As religious institutions work to address the legacy of historical abuse, the priority must now shift to prevention.

  • Key elements of a proactive and legally compliant safeguarding framework
  • The evolving patchwork of child protection laws across jurisdictions
  • Embedding safeguarding responsibilities into board and leadership structures
  • Aligning policies and practices with both legal duties and moral obligations
  • Building an organisational culture that prioritises prevention, accountability and trust
