Protection of Youth Compliance
The Diocese of Toledo is in compliance with the articles of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Every year, the Diocese dutifully submits the necessary documentation required by the USCCB for a diocese to be in compliance.
Every three years an on-site audit is conducted, when not only all necessary documentation is dutifully submitted, but in addition, Pastoral Center, parish and diocesan school employees are interviewed concerning practices and protocols related to creating and maintaining a safe environment for our children and youth.
The last 3-year audit was conducted in October of 2021. The next on-site audit will be conducted in September of 2024.
The Diocese of Toledo remains committed to ensuring the protection of children and providing a safe environment for all young people. If you have any knowledge of abuse that has been committed by a cleric or by any personnel of the Catholic Church, you are urged to report the abuse to your local police department, Children Services, and the Diocesan Victim Assistance Coordinator 419-214-4880; or 1933 Spielbusch Avenue; Toledo, Ohio 43604.
