You will be required to acknowledge that you have downloaded and accepted the terms of the Decree.
If you have completed the required background checks and child protect training, you will be prompted to click the link to Continue to the Home Page. Your registration is complete.
If you need to complete background check requirements or training, you may use the links in your approval checklist to access these requirements. These steps may be completed all at once or may be completed separately at your convenience. You will receive an automated email weekly to remind you which requirements are outstanding. When all compliance requirements have been completed, your account will be approved, and you will be clear to work/volunteer with youth and vulnerable adults.
Quarterly Bulletins - All volunteers are required to complete SafeParish quarterly child protection bulletins to remain compliant with the continuing education requirements of the Decree.
All users will be notified via email when quarterly bulletins are issued and will have 30 days from the dated of issue to complete the bulletin. Missing one quarterly bulletin will result in your account being non-approved and you will not be able to volunteer with youth.
To complete your quarterly bulletin, go to the Training Tab and click on the 'Due" link to see which bulletins are due and their due date.
To see Training sessions you have already taken, click on the 'Completed' link where you can see the training buylletin and the date it was completed.
If you did not get the bulletin, check your spam, or junk mail.
If you have questions, please contact Deacon Mark Bardonaro, Safe Environment Coordinator at deaconmark@stdominicdelhi.org.
