The Archdiocese of Ottawa has created a new, Safe Environment Program which prescribes a code of conduct when dealing with vulnerable people. The program will be rolled out over the next two years. The program has two parts: first, obtaining instruction using the Safe Environment Program by Praesidium Inc. that informs people about best practices when dealing with vulnerable people and what to look for in predators; second, the Diocese Safe Environment Office organizes and pays for an Enhanced Police Check for the required staff and volunteers in each parish.
