Safe Environment

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 activities within or sponsored by our Parish. It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing.

In order to achieve the above, the Diocese of Dallas 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. Good Shepherd, along with surrounding parishes, the Diocese of Dallas, and other Catholic schools, each have the program and is responsible for the program implementation and continuation.

For more information on Safe Environment, including the Safe Environment documentation, please see the Diocesan Safe Environment Webpage.

:Safe Environment Clearing Process. Any staff member or volunteer working with children or vulnerable adults must be Safe Environment cleared. This requires several steps:

1.  DIOCESAN SCREENING FORM English               Formulario de Evaluación (Español)
2.   TRAINING
A link to training will be forwarded once the Diocesan Screening Form is received. 
3.   INTERVIEW
