JCSA seeks to develop a clear understanding of the safeguarding concept in the wider church, among the Jesuits in formation and other trainees, and enhance individual capacities in safeguarding and child protection through quality training.
Toward a Person-centered Approach to Safeguarding
The “Toward a Person-Centered Approach to Safeguarding” webinar explores how safeguarding practices can be reshaped to prioritize individuals’ autonomy, voice, and lived experiences. It emphasizes empowerment, collaboration with support networks, and respect for each person’s unique needs, while also addressing the organizational and cultural changes needed to implement this approach effectively. The goal is to move away from a one-size-fits-all model and toward safeguarding that is responsive, inclusive, and led by the individual.
