  • Policies to read

  • Please read the following before continuing: Safe Environment Policy: https://portal.dsbvocations.org/_files/ugd/f2ada9_08f19f00588444f28da7e2578d28f9d8.pdf California Child Abuse & Neglect Reporting Law: https://portal.dsbvocations.org/_files/ugd/f2ada9_504ad46b338a4dba8e7d13ca96037be7.pdf
  • Affidavit of Compliance

  • 1. Training for the Diocese of San Bernardino Safe Environment Policy for the Protection of Children & Young People, the Code of Pastoral Conduct, and the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Law. As an employee or volunteer, I have successfully completed the required safe environment training. A copy of the certificate for this required training can be found on the Virtus/CMG Connect website. I understand and will comply with these policies.
  • According to California law, I am a mandated reporter*
  • If Yes: I understand and will comply with Section 11166 of the Penal Code of the State of California. The law requires mandated reporters, if there is knowledge or suspected knowledge of child abuse of a minor, to report to the appropriate State Agency immediately or as soon as practically possible by telephone, and to send a written report within 36 hours.
  • If No: I understand by law I am not a mandated reporter, but if I become aware of child abuse or neglect I know the procedures to follow and will follow them. The Diocesan Safe Environment Policy regards me as a discretionary (Policy) Reporter.
  • 3. Confidentiality (Code of Pastoral Conduct #2): The persons, conversations, materials and data with which I come in contact are to be treated in a confidential and professional manner, used only in the official business of the Catholic Diocese of San Bernardino. Violations can result in disciplinary action and/or dismissal.
  • Harassment Policy

  • The Diocese of San Bernardino prohibits all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment. Seminarians are expected to treat everyone with dignity and respect and to report harassment to the Vocations Director.
