If you are volunteering or employed at our church, school or any of it's events where children are involved, you must be in compliance with the Diocesan Policy on Child Protection. You can find the full policy here https://www.diobelle.org/education/child-protection/policy
To be in compliance, you must take the Initial Child Protection class and have all required paperwork completed and on file with the diocese. To find the online initial child protection class, please follow the link https://www.virtusonline.org/virtus/reg_2.cfm?theme=0&org=37893
Each year after you complete the Initial Training Session, you are required to take an online refresher course.
Additionally volunteers are required to complete an online CANTS form. An email form the parish office will be sent to all volunteers at the time of renewal. CANTS must be complted every 2 years to keep volunteers updated on the Diocesan Child Protection Policy.
All volunteers, parent volunteers, coaches and chaperones are also required to complete a criminal investigation background check for the state of IL unless you have been fingerprinted due to employment with our parish or Diocese.
If at any time you would like to check your status for compliance with the diocesan policy, please contact Jennifer at the parish office 618-939-6426 ext. 11.
