Safeguarding Our Children" Available Online!
Several churches in the diocese are participating in the Safeguarding Online internet training program offered through the Church Pension group and the Mercer School. Developed by Praesidium®, the national leader in abuse risk management, Safeguarding Online combines science and technology to deliver up-to-date and useful information on child abuse prevention.

The Diocese of Long Island has a zero tolerance policy for abuse and requires all clergy, employees, educators, caregivers, volunteers, parents, guardians, and other persons in positions of trust with children and young people to participate in training programs designed to Safeguard God's Children. This online training will serve as either a supplement to the 3-hour CAP training already available or as an approved substitute for that training.

Safeguarding Online is Internet-based, so you can access it anytime, from anywhere. You just logon to a high-speed Internet connection and complete your courses. The step-by-step courses are fun to watch, easy to understand and take between 30 - 45 minutes to complete. Each course ends with a brief quiz to ensure that you understand all of this important information. You must successfully complete all four online courses and each quiz to receive credit for the course. You'll also have a chance to provide feedback on the course content and usability.

Safeguarding Online is available to all clergy and to those parishes that have appointed a trained local program administrator

For more information, contact your local parish administrator or Diane Muscarella, Registrar at The Mercer School of Theology.

Race Awareness Program (RAP)
The Episcopal Church requires that persons receive training regarding the church's teaching on racism. The Canons of the Diocese of Long Island note the following: "All members of the clergy, and all seminarians, postulants, candidates for Holy Orders, and all employees and lay leadership of the diocese or of parishes, missions, chapels, or other diocesan units, shall attend training as approved by the Bishop, on issues of anti-racism in church and pastoral relationships." [Title X. Discipline Cn.4 Sec. III, 2010]

This training may be received through participation in the following highly interactive workshop. Attendance at BOTH days from 9:30 am - 4:30 pm is necessary for certification.
