Catherine Okari, IBVM, Lucia Boasa CJ attended the course at the Pontifical Gregorian University from 30th September 2024 to 7th February 2025.
The aim of this course, is to provide participants with a thorough basic introduction to safeguarding and the many multidisciplinary aspects that address this topic.
It helped us to understand and deepen the values found in our Mary Ward charism. We believe that every person has a dignity derived directly from being created in likeness of God. This implies that each member has a duty to cherish all persons and therefore protect them from abuse and neglect. The values of the Just Soul remind us that the protection of children and vulnerable adults is an integral part of our life and ministry.
Protection also means fostering an environment in all our communities where respect and recognition of the dignity of everyone is valued and appreciated. Hence creating safe space for everyone.
We thank our Superiors for giving us the opportunity and supporting us while attending this programme.
