Safe Environment Training for NEW Staff and VolunteersThe Safe Environment Program requires that all New staff or volunteers who work with minors or with vulnerable adults participate in the “FAMILY OF FAITH “ training. This training will consist of viewing a video and a presentation on recognizing, responding and reporting abuse. This training helps all of us maintain a high level of awareness and vigilance regarding the risks that may occur in our parish.
This training will satisfy the “annual” training requirement for the year.
(All Safe Environment Training at JPII is cancelled for the rest of the school year.)
All training will be held at John Paul II High School, located at the northeast corner of Coit Road and Plano Parkway. Enter thru the main entrance, just to the left of the flag poles. You will need to ring the buzzer to enter.
Watch the website and bulletin for upcoming dates and locations.
To become a CLEARED adult you must do ALL of the following:- Pick up a Safe Environment training packet from your ministry leader or any parish office - OR-download and save to your computer the Screening Form, the Safe Environment Booklet, the Social Media Policy, and the Social Media Policy Verification and Acceptance Form
