The Office of Safe Environment for Children, Youth and Adults announces sessions of the Child Assault Prevention safe environment training program for adults who have regular contact with minors. Attendance is required to comply with the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The diocese policy is adults will attend CAP every five years.
CAP 1 teaches attendees to recognize child abuse and neglect and how to report to proper authorities. CAP 1 is for new volunteers and employees. CAP 2 is No More Bullies, No More Victims, a workshop on bullying and cyberbullying awareness and prevention. Both sessions are 90 minutes.
Adults must attend CAP 1 before attending CAP 2. After five years, adults have the option of attending CAP 1 again if they prefer.
These sessions will be offered in March:
CAP Phase 1
– March 3, 7 p.m., St. John Neumann, North Cape May
