Safe Environment

Christ the King is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone who comes to the parish and school, and we work diligently to ensure that all volunteers, faculty and staff have undergone Safe Environment Training, background and reference checks. 

The Archdiocese has recently taken this process online. This short 2-minute video will help explain how to complete the Safe Environment training. 

You will need to do ONE of the following:

If you have never completed the online Safe Environment training:

1. Submit three character references below
2. Check your email for an activation code and link 
3. Use the code and link to create an account and complete the Safe Environment training

OR

If you have already created an account and completed the online Safe Environment training within the last year:

1. Log in to the Archdiocesan Safe Environment website 
2. Complete the new training (only available within 30 days of the expiration date of your last training)

Staying compliant with Safe Environment requires yearly online training. Please reach out to Antonio Guzman with questions.

• Use button below to start your Safe Environment Training  
• On the safe environment website, you will have to download a Reference form and save it to your desktop, in order to continue. Since Christ the King is using its own protocol for collecting references using our parish website (described above), you will not need it and can delete it.

IMPORTANT: ALL EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS- When setting up your account, please keep a permanent record of your logon information (User name & password).  You will need to revisit the site each year to take an additional training course; every three years, you will need to renew your background check.

For assistance, contact Antonio Guzman at (405) 242-4533 or Amy Feighny at (405) 242-4525.

For the safety of children and the healing of victims, the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City provides an Abuse of Minors Pastoral Response Hotline for reporting the abuse of a minor (in the past or presently) by a member of the clergy or other church personnel. Calls to this number will be answered by the Archdiocesan Assistance Coordinator who will offer to meet with the caller in person, if the caller so desires. The Assistance Coordinator will also assist you in making a formal complaint to the Archdiocese, arranging a personal meeting with the Archbishop or his representative and in obtaining support and pastoral counseling.

Calls are confidential with the following exceptions:

• Any allegation of sexual or physical abuse or neglect concerning those who currently are minors must be reported to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (1-800-522-3511) as required by Oklahoma laws and Archdiocesan policies.
• Any allegation of sexual misconduct must be shared with the proper Archdiocesan authorities.
• Local law enforcement agencies may also be contacted.

In addition, there are several things you may do:

• Contact the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (1-800-522-3511). Contacting DHS is mandatory if the victim is a minor.
• Contact the appropriate law enforcement agency (for example the local police).
• Contact local child protection agencies, a private attorney and or a support group.
