This policy requires that adults and children be instructed about the causes, forms, symptoms of, and appropriate responses to abuse through age-appropriate learning objectives.  The adult curriculum will primarily consist of the VIRTUS program, including the initial training entitled “Protecting God’s Children,” as well as continuing education modules to be completed every five years.  The children’s curriculum is intended to supplement the information received in school in accord with the requirements of the State of Ohio.  The curricula of our Catholic schools and religious education programs shall contain learning objective intended to protect children from abuse, while also stressing the importance of personal health and development, and the teachings of the gospel with respect to human sexuality and morality.
