The annual Knox Public Lecture is an important date in the calendar of Catholic Theological College. It commemorates the life and ministry of the founder of The College, the late James Robert Cardinal Knox, fifth Archbishop of Melbourne.
This year, the lecture titled 'Safe Church: Commitment, awareness and action for cultural change' will be presented online by Sheree Limbrick, Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Professional Standards Ltd (CPSL).
In May 2019 Catholic Professional Standards Ltd (CPSL) published the National Catholic Safeguarding Standards. More than 20 Church entities have been audited to date to assess the extent to which they are implementing necessary safeguards for children, with audits revealing a strong commitment and dedicated action to create child safe environments. Since late 2019, CPSL ha been working to expand the Standards to include protections for adults engaging with Church Ministry. This lecture will explore some of the trends and findings emerging from CPSL’s audit work, as well as the directions of the groundbreaking framework for the safeguarding of adults.
