In-Person Classes for Update Training
The training update requirement may be satisfied by one of the many in-person classes available at locations throughout the diocese. You can choose to refresh your knowledge by retaking Recognize, Respond, Report or by taking a new class. The safe environment director will be notified when you complete the training. Note: if you have not been cleared at All Saints before but you have been cleared somewhere else in the diocese, make sure the instructor knows to send your class certificate to All Saints. No further action is necessary on your part.
You may also request that an in-person class be conducted for your group (at least 15 participants) by contacting the safe environment director ( ).
Update Training via DVD from our Parish Library
Additional options are available on DVD from the Parish Library such as Family of Faith, The Good Shepherd, and The Good Samaritan.
