What are the different Safe Environment Trainings?
Page 14 of 16
Initial Training
Session (Adults)
Sesión Inicial
Renewal Training
Session (Adults)
Sesión de
Renovación
Initial Safe Environment Training is required for all clergy, religious,
employees, and volunteers who wish to serve in the Diocese of Fort
Worth. Training sessions are held regularly throughout the diocese at
no charge. The schedule of sessions can be accessed through the
diocesan website by clicking on the box, "Safe Environment
Training Sessions" on the opening page of the "Safe Environment
Training Program" section. The initial session focuses on recognizing
how perpetrators of abuse gain access to children, signs of boundary
violations and abuse in children and youth, and how to take action if
abuse is suspected. Texas requirements for reporting abuse to
authorities as well as the Diocesan Code of Conduct and Behavior
Standards for Ministry are thoroughly reviewed. Initial Safe
Environment expires after three (3) years, at which time, clergy,
religious, employees, and volunteers are required to complete Safe
Environment Training Renewal every three (3) years.
(Clergy, religious men and women, employees and volunteers may
renew their Safe Environment Training by attending a Live Renewal
Session or by completing the Online Renewal Session through
the Armatus Program). Online Renewal requires access to the
Internet. Diocesan, parish or school personnel coordinating the Safe
Environment Program can instruct individuals on how to complete
their renewal training.
"Train the Trainer"
Session (Adults)
This workshop prepares adults who wish to serve as Safe
Environment Trainers to facilitate Safe Environment Training sessions
in their parishes and/or schools. Applicants for "Train the Trainer"
must have completed the Initial Safe Environment Training Session,
passed a Criminal Background Check, and signed the Diocesan Code
of Conduct Agreement Form. Applications to attend "Train the
Trainer" are available at one's parish or school or through the
diocesan Office of Child and Youth Protection.
"Called to Protect"
Training Session
(Children & Youth)
The "Called to Protect" Program is for children and youth, PreK
through grade 12, to teach them about boundaries, how to recognize
boundary violations, how to respond to persons who violate their
boundaries, and how to report such violations to parents, family
members, and other trusted adults. The "Called to Protect" sessions
are taught in the Catholic schools, in parish religious education
classes, and in youth ministry sessions. "Called to Protect for Youth
Training" is a prerequisite to applying for "Teen Leader Training."
