Safe Environment Program Protocol Pro­tect­ing Our Chil­dren, What We’re Doing:
The Dio­cese of Stock­ton has had a pol­icy to address issues of sex­ual abuse of minors since 1987. This pol­icy has under­gone peri­odic revi­sion, most recently in 2009.
For infor­ma­tion on the var­i­ous train­ing com­po­nents and pro­to­cols estab­lished to
​pro­tect our ​chil­dren and young peo­ple, con­tact the Train­ing Coor­di­na­tor: 

 Isela Quezada  209/466‑0636

Training protocol for clergy, employees and volunteers who provide direct services to or have unsupervised contact with children:
  As mandated or ethical reporters of child abuse, all clergy, employees and volunteers, before working unsupervised with children, will be required to complete the following:
  

  • Complete the Live Scan process which includes fingerprinting and background check and receive a clearance from the Safe Environment Training Manager’s Office.

  • Complete the online training course “Protecting Our Children” and present a certificate of completion to the parish Safe Environment Coordinator.

  • All Clergy, staff, and volunteers are required to read and sign the "Code of Pastoral Conduct" and the "Diocese of Stockton Standards of Conduct for Those Working with Children and Young People".

All policies, procedures, and Codes of Conduct are outlined in detail on the Diocesan website.
