The Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City has adopted a policy to prevent abuse of children by using good behavior and wise judgment, to recognize abuse if it is happening, and to report it to the proper civil and religious authorities.  

The diocese requires certification of preparation in these principles by parish staff, teachers, teachers' aides, coaches, choir directors of youth choirs, and youth ministers.  

There is also a part of the policy that works to educate parents and children about how to recognize and deal with situations of abuse.

The policy is outlined in the pdf file which you can download here.  In short, it involves training and background checks on volunteers and parish staff who work with children and a curriculum to be presented to the children to train them in prevention and safety.
