Safe Environment / Ambiente Seguro

As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well being of minors and vulnerable adults as they participate in activites within or sponsored by the Diocese. It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing.

In order to achieve the above, the diocese has a Safe Environment Program that implements training, screening, background checks and other procedures that are designed to reduce the risk of sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults. Every parish, school and Diocesan agency has the program and each is responsible for program implementation and continuation. (Diocese of Dallas. https://www.cathdal.org/a-safe-environment.)

Como Cristianos adultos, tenemos una responsabilidad moral y legal y Dios nos ha confiado el bienstar espiritual, emocional y físco de menores y adultos vulnerables. Cuando ellos participan en actividades, dentro de o, patricinadas por nuestra Diócesis, es nuestra responsabilidad y compromiso proveer un ambiente seguro y acogedor.

Para lograr lo anterior, la diócesis cuenta con un Programa de Ambiente Seguro que está a cargo de implementar el entrenamiento, investgación y verificación de antecedentes, así como otros procediminetos que han sido diseñados para reducir el riesgo de abuso sexual en niños y adultos vulnerables. Todas las parroquias, escuelas y agencias diocesanas cuentan con el programa y cada una de ellas es responsable de su implementación y continuación.  (Diocese of Dallas. https://www.cathdal.org/a-safe-environment.)
