Safe Environment Policy and Code of Conduct

  The purpose of the Diocese of Saginaw Code of Conduct for Personnel Working with Children,

Young People, & Vulnerable Adults is to provide a safe environment

for minors and vulnerable adults who participate in ministries and activities in the parishes and

schools of the Diocese of Saginaw, by setting forth diocesan standards of

behavior and appropriate boundaries for all clergy, seminarians, religious, diocesan and parish

employees, educators and volunteers.1

It is expected that all persons who perform ministry, educate, or participate in activities within the

Diocese will adhere to this Code of Conduct.

In addition, all individuals (clergy, religious, and laity) who are employed by diocesan

organizations and all church volunteers who have contact with minors in any diocesan organization

must comply with the background screening process and training requirements as set forth in the

Policy for the Protection of Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults in the Diocese of

Saginaw (Rev. 2022).
