In 2003, the Diocese of Davenport implemented the Safe Environment Program through Catholic Mutual Group (CMG Connect), Background Checks and the \u00a0\u201cTeaching<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Safety – Empowering God’s Children<\/em>” curriculum for K-12 youth\u00a0by the Bishop for schools and religious education.<\/p>\n All JFK\/OLV employees, teachers, coaches, scout leaders and volunteers are to complete all the\u00a0requirements<\/a>\u00a0of the diocese before they can be employed or volunteer with our children or vulnerable adults.\u00a0\u00a0This requirement includes completing the Protecting God\u2019s Children Safe environment training and a background check.\u00a0 If you are an employee or volunteer working with money, a credit check may also be required.\u00a0 The background check is run by a diocesan approved agency that provides a criminal history. The credit check (if required) is ran by the same company.\u00a0 We are very passionate about this program and feel it is very important.
