IMPORTANT COMPLIANCE INFORMATION

The Diocese of Tucson is rolling out a new 3-in-1 Safe Environment Program in our Diocese through Catholic Mutual Group (CMG).

The CMG 3-in-1 Safe Environment Program allows all Priests, Religious, Deacons, Seminarians, Employees, Educators, Board/Council/Committee Members and Volunteers to use a standard platform across the Diocese to complete the required training, forms, and background check all in one system. This will also allow the Diocese to standardize the clearance memo for all participants, to include clearance for training, forms, and the background check using one document that expires every three (3) years. We no longer have to track three (3) separate dates (training date, affirmation date, and background check date) as we currently do. We also do not need to continue to load the training, affirmation form, and clearance memo into multiple systems and spreadsheets to track the expiration dates across multiple platforms. It all remains as a single file in CMG that is available for you (the participant), the compliance officer, and HR Office to share.

As we transition to CMG, we ask that all active Employees, Educators, Volunteers, and Board/Council/Committee Members, who are currently cleared and in good standing with the current safe environment program, register and complete the CMG training, required forms, and background check (as applicable) no later than November 1, 2021. If your Clearance has expired, or have never applied to volunteer at St. Odilia, and are not in compliance, you will need to apply as a “new applicant” through the Diocese website www.diocesetucson.org and will need to get fingerprinted.

Volunteers who are in compliance, and cleared to volunteer, will receive an email with an Invite to Register in CMG either as High Risk or Low-Risk Volunteer, or Board/Council/Committee Members Role. Please make sure to check your email regularly because I will begin to send out the Invites and more information. If you have any questions or need to update an email, please contact Martha at saintodiliacompliance@gmail.com
