Diocesan policy requires all volunteers who work with children or handle finances to complete a Safe Environment online curriculum as well as filing for a Background Safety screening. The Diocese also requires volunteers to sign a Code of Conduct as well as a Receipt of Diocesan Policy form. The policy can be found at Code of Conduct . The documents are under the Office of Child Protection Services.
All of the required paperwork as well as the instructions for the Safe Haven –It’s Up to You can be downloaded from our website: CMG Connect.
Please return all the paperwork along with your certificate in a SEALED envelope to:
