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: 

 Cathy Lagomarsino  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 “Shield the Vulnerable” and present a certificate of completion to the parish Safe Environment Coordinator.
Included in the online training is a condensed version of the "Diocese of Stockton Standards of Conduct for Those Working with Children and Young People", which needs to be reviewed before being able to complete the course.

  • All Clergy are required to read and sign the Pastoral Code of Conduct.
All policies, procedures and Codes of Conduct are outlined in detail on the Diocesan website.
