Diocese of Dallas Safe Environment Program
As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of minors and vulnerable adults. As they participate in activities within or sponsored by our Diocese, it is our responsibility and commitment to providing an environment that is safe and nurturing.
The Catholic Diocese of Dallas has a program to reduce the risk of abuse in order to:
-
To provide a safe and secure environment for minors and vulnerable adults in the faith communities within our Diocese.
-
To reduce the possibility of false accusations against clergy, employees, and volunteers.
-
To assist the Diocese in evaluating a person quote suitable to work with minors or vulnerable adults.
-
To satisfy the concerns of parents and staff members with a screening process.
-
To provide a system to respond to the victims and their families, as well as the accused.
-
To reduce the risk exposure of the parishes and the Catholic Diocese of Dallas.
