The Archdiocese of Southwark is committed to the safety and welfare of children. The Diocese co-operates fully with COPCA, the Catholic Office for the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults, which aims to help the Church become an example of best practice in Child Protection, and develop a "culture of vigilance" to ensure that children in our care are kept safe from harm.
