Safe Church, Safe Communities Training

The Diocese of Kentucky is committed to ensuring that its churches, camp, and institutions live out our baptismal promises by providing an environment free of abuse, exploitation, and harassment. The Safe Church, Safe Communities for Chilrden and Youth and Safe Church, Safe Communities courses teach how exploitation and harassment occur, the awareness we need to prevent such occurrences, and how to respond should an incident of exploitation or harassment occur. 

 Our updated Safe Church, Safe Communities program through Praesidium is ready for use.
