| DECREE ON CHILD PROTECTION
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati Decree on Child Protection requires all employees and all adult volunteers (those over the age of 18) who work with children on a regular basis to complete a background check and attend the Child Protection class. At this time the cost of the background check will be covered by St. Albert the Great parish. The background check is accepted at the parish where you are volunteering or employed. Should you change parishes or responsibilities within the parish, a new background check is required. However, attending a Child Protection class within the State of Ohio does not need to be repeated. If you are volunteering or planning to volunteer to work with children at St. Albert the Great, please get a background check and a attend a Child Protection class as soon as possible. Please do your part by supporting this effort to attain 100% compliance within our parish community. FINGERPRINTING is offered in the Religious Education office (Room 16 of the school) on Monday evening from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00am to Noon and from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Please check the following web address to locate times and locations within the Archdiocese where fingerprinting is available. www.catholiccincinnati.org/admin/fingerprint_sites.htm The CHILD PROTECTION CLASS is offered on the first Monday of each month. The class is held in the Chapel at 7:00pm and is less than an hour in duration. Fingerprinting is available at this time and will begin at 6:30 pm. Please check the following web address to locate and other times and locations within the Archdioceses of Cincinnati where the CHILD PROTECTION CLASS is available. http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/childorient/childprotection_calendar.htm Reporting Abuse: If you or someone you know has been abused at any time by an agent of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (priest, deacon, teacher, coach, employee or volunteer), the Archdiocese urges you to report the abuse to Father Joe Binzer, Chancellor of the Archdiocese, at 513-421-3131 as well as to the victim’s secular legal authorities, your local police department.
