EIM COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
The mission of the Diocese of Austin’s Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM) program is to help protect people from abuse and unethical behavior through education, action, and reporting, and to listen to and learn from those who have experienced abuse in order to provide healing. EIM compliance is required for persons active in most ministries in the diocese. Looking for resources and information about safeguarding children and other vulnerable people? Do you want to volunteer and are new to the EIM process? Are you returning to ministry and already have an EIM account? Visit austindiocese.org/eim to learn more about EIM policies and procedures and how they help keep our parishes and schools safer for everyone. Contact your parish or school’s EIM site administrator, or [email protected], for additional assistance. Please note that when your compliance is 60 days away from its expiration, you will receive an email from [email protected] prompting you to login and complete the required action per the email.
