MADISON — The Diocese of Madison’s Office of Safe Environment is offering a special session of “Protecting God’s Children for Parents.” This session will be held Tuesday, March 21, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Bishop O’Connor Center Auditorium Conference Room.
While this session is geared toward parents/guardians, it also satisfies the compliance requirement for employees and volunteers.
The Diocese of Madison requires that all volunteers who work with children and vulnerable adults and all employees attend a “Protecting God’s Children for Adults” session.
“Protecting God’s Children” includes an education component which helps prevent child sexual abuse by first making every adult employee and volunteer aware of the issues surrounding child sexual abuse. This includes awareness of the many ways that sexual abuse harms its victims, their families, the parish, and the community.
