Office of Child Protection

According to the Safe Environment Policy mandated by the Diocese of Baton Rouge, all school volunteers/school ministry volunteers/chaperones must complete a mandatory background check and child protection training. Please note that MBS School child protection requirements are not the same as MBS Parish. Therefore if you are compliant for the Parish, you are not automatically compliant for the School, and vice versa. It is important to remember the paperwork is time sensitive. If you began the process and did not complete all the steps in a timely manner, you may have to resubmit the paperwork. Many files have been archived due to inactivity, and/or files not being updated. Call Mrs. Landry at 225-753-5526 or email childprotection@mbsbr.org for assistance.
