Safe Environment Compliance
The Diocese of Boise has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse. It is behavior that degrades and diminishes the value of each human person and will not be tolerated. The goal of these policies is to continue to provide tools to protect our youth from the damaging effects of sexual abuse and to address sexual misconduct as a whole in our Diocese. These policies reflect vigilance in protecting children, including establishing ongoing safe environment programs that encompass standards of behavior for all personnel, screening practices, and continued training and education for all, including employees, volunteers, and children.
