YOU MENTIONED AN INTAKE OFFICER

• The intake officer is the person appointed to take reports of clergy misconduct in your diocese

• Most dioceses post this information on their web page

• If you can’t find the information on the diocesan website, try calling the diocese and asking who the intake officers are

• In some circumstances, you may be more comfortable with an intake officer of the same gender, or who shares other attributes with you (LGBTQ+, speaks Spanish, etc.). If that’s the case, and there’s no intake officer in the diocese who meets these criteria, you can ask the bishop diocesan to find another clergyperson to take your report
