REFRESHER TRAINING
All volunteers who have completed the Initial Child Protection Training must complete an ANNUAL REFRESHER course. The 2008-09 Child Protection Refresher Course-Bullying may be found by going to www.diobelle.org and clicking on Diocesan Events.

Instructions: The 2008-2009 refresher course consists of an article. Please follow the process below.

• Print the article.

• Read the article.

• Print (as separate pages) and complete the Verification of Online Training and the Evaluation. Indicate ONLINE for the facilitator.

• Turn the Verification of Online Training and the Evaluation into a facilitator at your primary location. The facilitator will send the Verification of Online Training and the Evaluation to the Office of Child Protection. It is not until this step is completed that you have finished the refresher course. I hope that you find this information interesting and that you will be able to keep it as a resource. Thank you for participating in the 2008-2009 Refresher Course: Bullying. Your commitment to youth by working or volunteering within the Diocese of Belleville is truly appreciated.


Sincerely,
Lynn Muscarello
