Spanish Provincial implements the global plan.

At the root of our Mission is the accompaniment of minors, adolescents, young people and adults in situations of vulnerability in different contexts and works: schools, social centres, universities, pastoral centres... Their care and special protection is an integral part of our mission in the Church. To see that in the past different types of abuse (moral, power, sexual) undermined this care, has moved the Province of Spain to work hard for almost a year to implement in our works systems that guarantee respect among the people who work in them and to promote the culture of Good Treatment.

Guided by the head of Safe Environment, psychologist Susana Pradera, this proactive system has been implemented in recent months. It is based on three pillars: Awareness raising with people who have suffered some kind of abuse; Intervention to attend and repair the victims, as well as to sanction and remove those responsible; and Prevention so that it never happens again.

Among the actions carried out up to now, the different training courses offered to the personnel of our works so that they know how to recognize and detect possible abuses and risk situations stand out. These trainings are being carried out initially in the education sector. And training plans are already being designed for the other sectors.

In each work site there is a Safe Environment Agent who will be the reference person to go to if necessary. In addition, the system has a mailbox (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and listening spaces at the construction sites to support and welcome potential victims.

A Guide and a Safe Environment Manual have also been developed, providing further information on the behaviours that generate possible abuse and which must be avoided and detected, as well as on the behaviours that generate Good Treatment and which must be encouraged. The Manual also contains a great deal of general information on everything related to awareness, prevention and intervention. This will bring us closer to the pain of victims and help us to develop truly safe environments.

This system is also supported by external experts who form part of an advisory council that helps the provincial and his team to guarantee seriousness and rigour in monitoring cases and improving prevention.

Our commitment is to generate safe spaces, relationships and activities in any work, centre or activity of the Society of Jesus in Spain.

The first steps have already been taken to implement that our works are safe environments for the minors and adults in situation of vulnerability to whom we attend. But for this mission to be truly effective we must involve each and every one of us who collaborate in the Mission and in the works of the Society of Jesus. This is what the Provincial, Antonio España Sj, in a video, invites each and every one of us who collaborate in the Mission and in the works of the Society of Jesus to feel involved in Safe Environment.
