Safe Environment

NEW SAFE ENVIRONMENT COURSES
NOW AVAILABLE!

As a Diocese, we are always trying to improve and make more available our safety education and prevention programs. It is with this in mind that we are expanding our use of the Internet and have a selected Armatus through Praesidium as our Safe Environment Training provider. 

There are required courses to be taken by all employees of the Diocese and volunteers depending upon the ministry.

Each Diocesan parish, school or administrative office will have at their location information  how to log on to Armatus to complete these required courses.  If at anytime you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call the Office of Safe Environment at 850-435-3570.

Call the Florida’s Abuse Hotline at
1-800-96-ABUSE (1-800-962-2873)
Or, if a child is in immediate danger,
call your local police or sheriff

"We bishops and eparchs must tenaciously maintain our commitment to the Charter mandates to ensure that children and youth are safe and that the victims of clergy sex abuse are able to heal from the effects of sexual abuse by representatives of the Church. Much progress has been made by the Catholic Church in addressing the impact of clergy sexual abuse of minors, but continued vigilance is a must.”

Cardinal Francis George, President
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
