The Diocese of Orlando is required by the United States Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to follow certain guidelines with regard to safe environment training. As are all other archdioceses and dioceses, we are required to undergo regular audits by the USCCB to be sure that we are in compliance with those regulations.

Therefore, all church personnel and volunteers working with children and vulnerable populations must complete safe environment training in addition to a background/fingerprint clearance. In order to fulfill the safe environment training requirements, you must watch the 20-minute video “Protecting Our Youth” and then subsequently complete the on-line quiz, which consists of 13 questions. (NOTE: be advised that you will need your bar code number, which is provided to you upon completion of your fingerprint registration, to register for the test).

Pass/fail results are sent directly to the Diocese of Orlando Human Resources Office, which records the data and notifies your affiliated parish, school or organization. You will also receive an e-mail notification with pass or fail results. The Diocese of Orlando joins the United States Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in following the necessary guidelines to safeguard our children. Thank you for your cooperation.

Fingerprinting

FINGERPRINT REGISTRATION AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING:
Instructions for those volunteers and employees who have not been fingerprinted or are due to be re-fingerprinted (every five years)

Volunteers who have never been fingerprinted, or who are due to be re-fingerprinted, must first register online by accessing our website at www.orlandodiocese.org

Please select the fingerprinting menu

At the fingerprint registration site, please complete all information requested. You will be given a choice of locations, dates and times in which to make an appointment to be physically fingerprinted. After having completed submission of your fingerprints, please save the bar code associated with your fingerprint registration as you will need it to register for Safe Environment training.

**There is a $50 fee that must be paid online at the time the appointment is set.
