The Archdiocese of Suva is developing policies to protect children and minors from sexual abuse.
A two-day workshop at St Joseph’s Secondary School hall that rounds up today includes headteachers and school principals of Catholic schools in Fiji.
Archbishop Peter Loy Chong said many items mentioned in the resource document are applicable to ministry with adults.
“The policy establishes a set of general guidelines and boundaries for people ministering to minors and addressing explicitly proper contact with persons under 18 years of age,” Archbishop Loy Chong said.
The workshop also includes training on Safeguarding, and Ministerial Integrity to priests, teachers, religious sisters and Brothers.
