The Office of Child and Youth Protection is pleased to announce that the Standards for the Protection of Children and Young People has now been translated into Spanish. These documents include the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People and the Essential Norms and also the criminal history background check policy of the Diocese of Camden. These policies guide the Diocese of Camden in its efforts to protect the children entrusted into our care and to provide safe environments. The policies were most recently reviewed by members of the Diocesan Review Board in June 2013. In addition there is the newly revised Chaperone Policy which was promulgated in June 2014. Both the English and the Spanish translations of the Standards can be found on the diocesan website.
