The Diocese of Wilmington announced this week that “For the Sake of God’s Children,” its program to keep children in its care safe from abuse, has been found effective by an outside consultant.
The report, received in April, marks the 10th time in nine years the diocese’s child protection program has been evaluated. For nine years, 2003 through 2011, the diocese’s child protection plan has been audited by an agency named by the U.S. bishops for compliance with the bishops’ “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People,” implemented in 2002. An agency named by the bishops will audit the diocese again this year, as it does every year.
