Child Protection

Virtus

VIRTUS Certification: Holy Trinity School and the Archdiocese of Washington are passionately committed to creating a safe school environment for your children. In order to serve as a volunteer at HTS, you must complete the three basic elements of the VIRTUS program:

  1. Register at Virtus Training

  2. Read the policies for prevention of abuse in the ADW Child Protection Policy handbook and submit the Volunteer Application form, a copy of government ID such as a Driver’s License, and the signed Acknowledgement form (found on page 56 of the manual) and code of conduct (on page 70) to the school front office

  3. Begin the criminal background check: schedule an appointment with a center that utilizes Livescan. Easiest may be American Fingerprinting in Bethesda.
