Safeguarding Training Programs:

Clergy and other church employees, as well as those who work with children and youth, are required to take Safeguarding programs aimed at preventing child sexual abuse--Safeguarding God's Children and Safeguarding Online; and at preventing sexual exploitation in communities of faith and preventing sexual harassment of church workers--Safeguarding God's People.

Training for Safeguarding God's Children and Safeguarding God's People regularly is offered at locations around the diocese; to sign up for the Safeguarding Online training on the Internet, contact your priest or senior warden who will contact the diocesan office to enroll you.
