Safe Environment

Diocesan Office of Child Protection

Safe Environment training is required by the Diocese of Baton Rouge for adults who have, or will have, ongoing, unsupervised contact with minors in the course of their work or service as an employee, chaperone, or volunteer. 

The following Child Protection Checklist has been compiled to facilitate the understanding of the requirements of the Diocese of Baton Rouge Office of Youth and Child Protection.

All field trip chaperones and any other volunteer operating in a supervisory capacity over children must meet all requirements. All forms must be on file in the St. Joseph School office in order to be considered complete.
