The Diocese of Nashville requires all parishes to have their Safe Environment training which also includes a background check. Every individual that works with or around children in the parish must complete Safe Environment. Also, all individuals must renew annually.

To get started go to https://www.virtusonline.org/

 STEP ONE

Contact the head of the parish ministry you want to get involved in and express your interest.

STEP TWO

go to https://www.virtusonline.org/ and create an account.

STEP THREE

Complete the Required Diocesan Safe Environment Training (Protecting God’s Children)

• This includes an hour-long video training designed to help you know and recognize signs and symptoms of sexual abuse. This training also includes competency questions throughout the course.
• Registration also includes a national background check that also checks the National Sex Offender Registry.
• Once you are in the system, Selection.com runs a quarterly review of all background checks and will update as needed.

STEP FOUR

Once your background check has been reviewed by your parish and you have no criminal history, you’ll be approved by your parish and officially certified and can volunteer with minors.
