Church Admin Corner: Volunteer Screening

RJ Chambers

January 27, 2026

As a new year has arrived, do you have any new volunteers helping in your parish? All volunteers working with children, youth, or other vulnerable populations are required to complete police checks, including vulnerable sector searches, every 3 years. They must also complete the Diocese of Edmonton Safe Church training module before any such volunteering.

To learn more about the Safe Church regulations, please visit https://edmonton.anglican.ca/about-us/pages/security-screening--286/. To check whether your volunteers are still up-to-date or to add new volunteers to your parish information at the Diocese, please email the Synod Office at churched@edmonton.anglican.ca.

In the spirit of peaceful dialogue, understanding, reconciliation, and healing, we walk alongside our Indigenous and Métis relations on the Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 Territories, the traditional meeting ground of Cree, Saulteaux, Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakota Sioux, Dene, Métis, and Inuit peoples.
