Fr James Ailen conducting the Safeguarding Workshop at Ibadan
The Salesian communities within the ANN Province recently conducted a series of strategic formation sessions aimed at fostering professional synergy and reinforcing our commitment to child protection. These sessions were held at the Ibadan (Post-Novitiate) community on February 19, followed by workshops at Mary Help of Christians, Akure, and St. Jude Science and Technical College, Tse-Mker, today, February 20.
Strengthening Team Synergy
Each program commenced with interactive team-building exercises and icebreakers. These activities were designed to alleviate professional stress and cultivate a genuine “family spirit”—a cornerstone of our educational philosophy—ensuring that staff members across all departments are aligned in mission and morale.
Reaffirming Our Commitment to Safeguarding
A central component of these gatherings was a comprehensive review of the Safeguarding Policy. This session served two critical purposes:
- Onboarding: Newly appointed staff members formally committed to the protection of young people and vulnerable adults.
- Professional Development: Established staff engaged in a collaborative exchange of best practices regarding the safety and well-being of those in our care.
Our Core Philosophy
The provincial mandate remains clear: young people in our institutions must not only be safe in principle but must feel safe in practice. Through collective vigilance and shared responsibility, we continue to uphold the highest standards of institutional integrity.
Together, we are capable of achieving this vital mission.
