Archdiocese of Detroit Updated Safe Environment Policies 

All employees and volunteers of the Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD) must be trained on the warning signs of various types of abuse. In an effort to prevent sexual abuse, bullying and other forms of mistreatment, all individuals working and volunteering in the Archdiocese of Detroit are required to complete the linked “Criminal Background Check Disclosure and Authorization Form”
and complete specified training.

Safe Environment Training Explanation 

The AOD uses Virtus, an online platform for all training, monitoring, and data collection.  Use the link below to log into your existing Virtus account or to set up a new account.

Code of Conduct

 Our children are the most important gifts God has entrusted to us.  Staff and volunteers must login to your VIRTUS account and electronically sign the AOD code of conduct.

Our goal is to empower children, youth and adults
to avoid and report unsafe or harmful situations.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
