The Society of the Missionaries of Africa considers the safety and protection of children and vulnerable adults as very important in all its missionary activities. Therefore, it aims at very strict standards of behaviour in mission. If any person wants to consult those standards or wishes to raise an issue concerning them, that person can contact, if willing, the local representative of the Major Superior of our Missionary Society (addresses can be found here:http://www.mafrome.org/adresmg.htm) or contact directly the office of the Coordinator for Integrity in Ministry in Rome who will answer their questions.
