SAFE ENVIRONMENT OFFICE GUIDELINES |
|
FOR STUDENTS
As mandated by the Bishop’s Charter, the diocese requires that all students be given the opportunity to attend a presentation on ways to keep themselves safe. This will be offered during class time toward the beginning of each catechetical year. Parents will be given the opportunity to preview the information presented. These presentations will reinforce our belief in the respect and dignity of each human person and help children be more aware of what constitutes a safe boundary among family, friends, and strangers.
Pursuant to state law and the diocesan Safe Environment Policy, we are required to report suspected child abuse and we will follow the state laws and diocesan policy on such matters.
FOR PARENTS
All parents are encouraged to attend the Safe Environment training presentation. The information presented is useful in keeping family members safe from child predators. This presentation also allows parents to volunteer in the Faith Formation program as needs and interests arise. Please note: parents wishing to be in the classroom with their child shall not interact with other children in the program unless they have completed the safe environment requirements of the diocese.
