Role of the Diocesan Training Coordinator

The Training Coordinator coordinates and assists parishes and church organizations in the implementation of the training components of the Bishop’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People (See Articles 6, 12, and 13 of the Charter). The Training Coordinator is also responsible to effect the Charter provisions concerning a Code of Conduct, and background checks for clergy, seminarians, lay employees, and volunteers. Additionally, the Training Coordinator provides consultation to parish leaders (and leaders in other Church organizations) within the diocese to help them achieve implementation of the Charter’s provisions.

The training components of the Bishops’ Charter include:

  • What constitutes child abuse
  • What actions, procedures and policies are used to prevent child abuse
  • How to identify instances of child abuse
  • Actions an adult should take when they believe child abuse is occurring
  • Laws & policies re: the reporting of abuse of children
    Training materials for children and youth that are age appropriate and pertain to personal safety, improper touching, and relationships.
  • Education for parents regarding child abuse prevention

Please feel free to contact the Training Coordinator, Linda Dillen, at anytime if you have questions or suggestions concerning the issue of child abuse prevention in the Diocese of Stockton, or Articles 6, 12 and/or 13 of the Bishops’ Charter.
