On-Site USCCB Safe Environment Audit for 2020-2023

 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) conducts safe environment audits of all dioceses throughout the country. Every three years they conduct an on-site audit which includes a review of diocesan policies and practices, interviews with diocesan staff and members of the diocesan review board, as well as a review of diocese’s safe environment training data. The most recent on-site audit was completed in September of 2023. This audit covered the following dates: July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2023. The diocese was found to be in compliance, to review the official letter of compliance, please the button below.

The Diocese of Nashville also participates in USCCB’s annual data collection process which is part of the audit process. Below is a letter stating that we participated in the most recent round of data collection.
