The Guild of Our Lady of Ransom is entirely committed to safeguarding at WeBelieve to ensure a safe environment for all. Our safeguarding policy and procedures are implemented according to the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency.

Our primary responsibility is to uphold the dignity and rights of all individuals, especially those who are vulnerable. We are committed to safeguarding, protecting, and nurturing the well-being of children, young people, and at-risk adults. To this end, our leadership team and volunteers are dedicated to creating and maintaining an environment that is safe, attentive, and compassionate, with Christ at its core.
