CYO Adult Leader/Coach's Child Protection Policy (CPP) Certification
Each coach or other adult (i.e, any person 18 years of age or older) having substantial contact with CYO youth prior to beginning his/her duties MUST become certified by completing the following four steps (in the order below):
1. Register with Virtus Online at www.virtusonline.org/virtus/reg_0.cfm?theme=0. When you register under the "Begin the registration process" button, use Washington, DC (Archdiocese) under the dropdown list, and register under "St. Jane Frances de Chantal (202) Bethesda," not the nonworking "St. Jane de Chantal School (Bethesda) account). You will need to create a UserID and Password, making sure during the process you review and acknowledge reading the Code of Conduct AND answer the question about Contact with Minors.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, under the "View a list of sessions" button (again using Washington, DC (Archdiocese) under the dropdown list), enroll for a mandatory Child Protection Workshop (see Step 4 below). Child Protection Workshop session registration can also be reached by clicking on "Child Protection & Safe Environment" at www.adw.org and scrolling down to "Child Protection Training."
(IMPORTANT NOTE: The name under which you register for Virtus should be your legal name as it appears on your identification documents (per Step 3 below), should match the name you provide on the Volunteer Application Form (per Step 2 below), and should be the name that you always use on Virtus.
2. Complete the Volunteer Application Form, which is available for download/printing at http://www.adw.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Volunteer-Application-2014.pdf.
3. Make a background check appointment with the Parish Compliance Coordinator (PCC), whose contact information is given below. (Completing the online background check application takes only 5-10 minutes). When you come to the appointment, please bring with you (a) the Volunteer Application (completed under Step 2 above); (b) cash or a check for $18.50 made out to "St. Jane de Chantal Parish"; and (c) two (2) government-issued IDs, one of which must be a photo ID (for a list of acceptable IDs click here.)
PLEASE NOTE: FINGERPRINTING IS NO LONGER REQUIRED.
4. Attend a Child Protection Workshop (see registration information under Step 1 above) and submit to the PCC a copy of the Attendance Certificate from the Workshop AND the signed Acknowledgement Page from the CPP Booklet (Appendix E, page 58), which can be downloaded/printed from http://site.adw.org/pdfs/13policy-child-protection.pdf.
