About Safe Environment

We can all be part of the solution—together we can prevent child abuse.

All priests, deacons, employees, and volunteers in ministries that serve minors are required to take Called to Protect training annually. All other volunteers in the parish complete Called to Protect training every two years.

In the Diocese of Phoenix all volunteers must complete Called to Protect for Ministries as a foundation course for Safe Environment. Called to Protect for Ministries is a 3 hour program which will teach steps that can be taken to prevent child sexual abuse and as a component of the training everyone is required to complete a volunteer application and Code of Ethics.

A 45 minute renewal training is offered for all subsequent years. This training is offered through in-class sessions or through computer “online” training.
