The Church is required by God to foster relationships of integrity, truthfulness and trustworthiness. The abuse of this obligation by harassment or bullying will not be tolerated in the Diocese as it undermines the love we should demonstrate for each other and our Christian witness to the world. 

However infrequently it happens, therefore, all complaints of abuse, harassment and bullying will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. The preventing bullying and harassment policy explains what should happen if there are complaints about bullying and harassment.
