SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Protecting Vulnerable Individuals: Our Diocese's Commitment
As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well being of minors and vulnerable adults as they participate in activities within or sponsored by our Diocese. It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing.
In order to achieve the above, the diocese has a Safe Environment Program that implements training, screening, background checks and other procedures that are designed to reduce the risk of sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults. Every parish, school and Diocesan agency has the program and each is responsible for program implementation and continuation.

Safe Environment Policies
The following are the policies for the Diocese of Dallas.
I NEED TO RENEW MY TRAINING
The Safe Environment program requires volunteers and employees to update their training every 12 months. Select the training module of your choice, complete and print the quiz and return it to the Safe Environment office at Prince of Peace in order to receive credit.
If you attend a training session or workshop on any topic related to safety, it might qualify as your training update. Some of these may be: internet dangers or internet safety, bullying, CPR, training on using a defibrillator, adult abuse, Boy Scouts, etc. Document your attendance by putting the name of the session, date, and a brief description. Turn the paper in to the Safe Environment office. Not sure if it qualifies? Call Kay in the Pastoral Center.
Do you need to Report Abuse?
