Teaching TOuching safety

Teaching children to protect themselves is part of the mandate of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People adopted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in June 2002.  Article 12 of the Charter states:

        Dioceses/eparchies will establish “safe environment” programs. They will cooperate with parents, civil authorities, educators, and community organizations to provide education and training for children,youth, parents, ministers, educators, and others about ways to make and maintain a safe environment for children.

    The Protecting God’s Children program for parents and guardians, and Touching Safety (our school-based curriculum) are vehicles available to parents and the Church to assist in accomplishing this important mission.
