Protecting
Our
Children:
A
Family’s
Response
to
Sexual
Abuse,
a
new
video
produced
by
the
Knights
of
Columbus,
offers
families
a
deeply
personal
–
and
profoundly
practical
–
account
of
how
one
Knight
and
his
family
addressed
their
son’s
abuse
by
a
close
family
friend.
The
video
presents
parents
with
the
scope
and
scale
of
the
risks
families
face from sexual abuse in today’s society and provides them with knowledge and concrete steps they can follow to help keep their children safe.
The
Knights
of
Columbus
Office
of
Youth
Protection
works
collaboratively
with
dioceses
to
fulfill
our
shared
mission
to
protect
minors
and
vulnerable
persons.
Our
cooperative
approach
toward
diocesan
safe
environment
programs
is
expressed
in
our
guidance
to
council
leaders
concerning
member
compliance
with
diocesan
safe
environment
requirements.
The
first
requirement
of
our
safe
environment
program
is
for
our
members
to
be
compliant
with
diocesan
safe
environment
requirements
applicable
to
members’
volunteer
activities
on
parish
property.
We
invite
diocesan
safe
environment
coordinators
and
victim
assistance
coordinators
to
contact
us
directly
with
all
questions
and
concerns
that
relate
to
the
Knights of Columbus.
The
Knights
of
Columbus
Safe
Environment
Program
is
operated
in
conjunction
with
PRAESIDIUM
,
which
specializes
in
preventing
sexual
abuse
in
organizations
that
serve
youth
and
vulnerable
adults.
Our
online

sexual
abuse
awareness
and
prevention,
reporting,
and
policies,
and
are
available
to
all
our
members,
but
required
for
members
volunteering
in
key
leadership
roles.
Members
volunteering
to
serve
in
key

complete
a
screening
process,
including
a
robust
and
comprehensive background check.
