Safe Environment

Any employee or volunteer who has ongoing, unsupervised contact with minors – or anyone who attends an overnight event with minors – must complete the following steps. This includes teachers, volunteers, coaches, chaperones, and anyone 15 years of age and older who has contact with minors.

• Complete Safe Environment Training: If you have not already done so, set up an account on the Safe Environment Training website https://neworleans.cmgconnect.org. Online initial training and renewal training can be completed on this site once you have registered for an account. Training can be completed online or through an in-person training session (as scheduled by the archdiocese). Please register for an account even if you plan to do the training in person.

• Background check. This is handled through your parish or school. Contact the appropriate staff member. Do not select a request for a background check unless you have been instructed to do so by the appropriate parish or school contact.

Safe Environment training and background check must be repeated every three years.
