SafeParish/Child Protection
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati requires adult volunteers and employees who have contact with children to complete a criminal background check through Selection.com and to complete Child Protection training through SafeParish.
The Ohio Revised Code also requires certain employees (for example, teachers, teachers aides, school employees, cafeteria monitors, playground monitors, and coaches with pupil activity supervisor permits) to have a criminal background check through fingerprinting. The laws of the State of Ohio and the policies of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati regarding criminal background checks through fingerprinting must be adhered to.
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati defines a volunteer is an adult who is not a cleric or employee (for example, a catechist, scout leader, coach, server coordinator, parent interns, student teachers and others in similar capacities etc.) who function in any capacity to assist in activities with children. This includes all adults accompanying children on any overnight activity.
All volunteers and employees must complete an acceptable background check through Selection.com and SafeParish Child Protection Training before having contact with young people.
All Safeparish training is online. There are no in-person SafeParish training sessions.
