The Office of Child and Youth Protection is announcing CAP (Child Assault Prevention) sessions. CAP is the safe-environment training program for adults who have regular contact with minors. Attendance is required in order to comply with the USCCB's Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.
CAP 1 teaches attendees to recognize child abuse and neglect and how to report to the proper authorities. Adults are taught that children have the right to be safe, strong, and free. CAP 1 is for new volunteers and employees.
CAP 2 is called CAP's Bullying Prevention Program and is a workshop addressing bullying awareness and bullying prevention. Cyber-bullying will also be presented.
CAP 3 is called Cyber-Empowerment and is a workshop which promotes adult understanding of the cyber activity of youth while teaching them realistic ways to help children keep their own rights and guard the rights of others in the cybersphere.
The policy of the Diocese of Camden is that adults will attend CAP once every five (5) years. Each presentation is 90 minutes. Adults who are new (employees or volunteers) should attend CAP 1 before attending CAP 2 or CAP 3. After five (5) years, adults have the option of attending CAP 1 or CAP 2 again if they prefer.
To attend one of these classes, please call the CAP Registration Line in the Office of Child and Youth Protection at 856-583-6165 or email Lucie Alcaza at luz.alcazar@camdendiocese.org to register. If calling, please leave your name and the session date you are attending. Please note that you will not receive a call back.
