Safe Environment Re-certification Training
The renewal of Safe Environment credentials every five (5) years is a requirement of the diocesan Child and Youth Protection Policy, which includes a Safe Environment re-certification training session (1.5 hours) and another passed criminal background check. The re-certification training session maintains a culture of awareness, knowledge, and vigilance for those entrusted in our care.
Safe Environment credentials are suspended indefinitely for any parish, school, or agency volunteers who do not satisfy the re-certification Safe Environment requirement by the expiration of their last training date. Suspended volunteers are prohibited from volunteering in any diocesan program involving children, young people, or vulnerable adults, until the completion of the re-credentialing process. -
