The mission of Safe Environment Training is to prevent sexual, physical or emotional abuse and/or neglect of children and young people through continued education, building awareness, and maintaining a commitment to keeping all children and young people safe. We offer different training sessions for parents, youth and those serving in ministries. Class descriptions, requirements and registration are available.
To remain Safe Environment cleared under the Diocesan Safe Environment Program, all cleared people; including staff members, volunteers, and others; must annually update their Safe Environment training.
REMINDER: Safe Environment compliance expires annually on July 1st.
