  • Are you seeking to request a waiver from online training because of your occupation or because you have recently completed comparable training with another organization?*
  • Individuals who wish to work with children and youth at St. Paul's and can show evidence that they are currently licensed by the Commonwealth in one of the professions on the list may request to be excused from completing some of the training modules prescribed in Section V of the Diocese’s Policy for the Protection of Children and Youth.

  • Individuals working in other fields may also have received mandatory training in topics addressed by the Praesidium Academy modules on which the Diocese relies. Such individuals may therefore seek a waiver of one or more of the modules. However, the Bishop, Clergy in Charge, Senior Warden, or Supervisor who reviews their request must consider the legal status of the entity that has set the relevant standard and developed the training materials. Professional licensure and Act 126 training are mandated by State agencies that also prescribe the courses that can be taken to satisfy the requirements; the Diocese can therefore reasonably rely on the effectiveness of the training that is provided to individuals covered by those statutes. Petitions from other fields must be supported by compelling evidence of a similar degree of training excellence.
