In the Diocese of Tucson all volunteers must complete "Safe Environment Training Initial Education" as a foundation course for Safe Environment.
In this program Clergy, employees, and Volunteers learn myths and facts about sexual abuse and sexual offenders. They learn detailed warning signs to watch for in adults who may abuse, and how to identify children who may have been abused. Clergy, employees, and volunteers learn specific steps to take in screening, guidelines for interaction, monitoring, training and responding. To keep ministries safe, standards must be met in parishes, schools, youth events,-anywhere there are children or vulnerable adults.
