VIRTUS
The Catholic Diocese of Richmond's Policy for Protecting God's Children
Safety First!
VIRTUS® is a national Catholic training program for the prevention of the abuse of minors. The Diocese of Richmond requires that all adult volunteers who work with minors must complete a background check and take the 3 hour VIRTUS training course. Please see www.virtus.org for more information or to register for the training.
Every effort is made to create a safe and welcoming learning environment for our children, youth and families:
-
All staff and volunteers who work with minors must complete a background check and VIRTUS training.
-
The gathering spaces are inspected regularly by the Diocesan Office for Risk Management and parish staff.
-
Procedures for the safe and orderly pick-up and drop-off of children are defined in parent & catechist handouts.
-
All diocesan policies and procedures for the safe supervision of children and youth are followed.
-
All diocesan policies for the transport and supervision of youth during "off campus" activities are followed.
If you identify a potential safety issue that is not being properly addressed,
please contact the office immediately.
