The National Office for Professional Standards (NOPS) has appointed a team of safeguarding reviewers to progress external safeguarding reviews of all Catholic organisations in New Zealand.
The team includes four former Catholic school principals, Jane Hahn, Linda McQuade, Colleen Gleeson and Pamela Arthurs, as well as Siobhan Dilly, former NZCBC Executive Officer, and Jonathan Sankey, Professional Standards Manager with the Marist Brothers.
NOPS undertakes reviews of all New Zealand Catholic dioceses, religious congregations and national organisations or agencies on behalf of the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference and the Congregational Leaders Conference Aotearoa New Zealand. This involves meeting with about 90 organisations every three years to review their practices, protocols and policies.
