​​​​​​Every location in the archdiocese must ensure that all staff and volunteers understand the State of California law and archdiocesan policies and procedures on how to report child sexual abuse.

​​Every location must also have a current copy posted of the archdiocesan Responding to an Allegation of Suspected ​Child Abuse. It is available in English and Spanish​ and includes all necessary hotlines and other critical phone numbers, as well as current reporting forms posted or readily available for reference at the parish, school, and religious education offices. These materials are also available on the archdiocesan website at Reporting Child Abuse | LA Catholics​.
