Amid a rocky year, the pope's Commission for the Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Persons has drafted an updated version of global anti-abuse safeguarding guidelines along with a survey for feedback on the norms , the Crux website reports today (June 25, 2023).
In a statement on June 23, the commission said the new Universal Guidelines Framework (UGF) was approved during its most recent plenary assembly held in Rome in May, and serves "as a model to define the safeguarding standards to be implemented in every local church across the world."
The primary aim of the guidelines, the commission said, is "to promote protection from abuse, in the Church according to existing good practices in safeguarding."
