Safe Environment

What is the goal of the Safe Environment System?

The Safe Environment System was created through a specific request by Pope Francis to enhance the culture of Good Treatment and respect between people, guaranteeing the creation of a safe environment and wellbeing for all people and ensuring the protection of everyone, especially people susceptible to being in a situation of vulnerability in the institutions linked to the Society of Jesus of Spain.

The system is based on the following pillars:

  • Creating welcoming, respectful, and safe environments.
  • Promoting good treatment among the people nearest to us.
  • Promoting a culture of protection and care for and protecting any child and vulnerable adult.
  • Reporting any inappropriate practices or abusive behaviour.

Building Safe Environments

The activities carried out are aimed at:

  • Promoting wellbeing for people.
  • Promoting a culture of Good Treatment: cordiality, respect, good manners, doing things right, etc.
  • Ensuring respect for and the rights of every person.
  • Assisting and collaborating in personal growth.
We want everyone to feel safe in all the spaces where we do our work. We seek to generate a culture of good treatment and care.
