Stand Training
PROCEDURES FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH
The Archdiocese of Baltimore places great emphasis on ensuring that adults and teenagers who have substantial contact with children are adequately screened and trained in this area to provide a safe environment for our children.
We at Holy Family Catholic Community stand by these policies and take measures to ensure that these policies are adhered to in order to provide the best protection and environment for our children and youth.
All volunteers ages 14 and over must complete a Volunteer Application and receive and review a copy of “A Statement of Policy for the Protection of Children and Youth” and receive and review a copy of the “Code of Conduct for Church Personnel in the Archdiocese of Baltimore”.
All volunteers ages 14 and over who have substantial contact with children must complete a Volunteer Application and receive and review a copy of “A Statement of Policy for the Protection of Children and Youth” and receive and review a copy of the “Code of Conduct for Church Personnel in the Archdiocese of Baltimore”. The following additional requirements must be met prior to a volunteer serving at Holy Family:
· References must be provided and checked
· Criminal Screen form must be completed, returned and processed every 5 years for volunteers 18 and over
· Stand video training must be completed for volunteers 18 and over; this is available online or at various local parishes on specified dates
· “Worthy of the Call” Video training must be completed for volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18
· Driving Record Consent form must be completed and returned for those volunteers who will be transporting our children and youth to church sponsored activities.
Once all of these requirements have been successfully completed, the Screening Coordinator will notify the volunteer that they can begin service at Holy Family.
