Hotline and Website for Reporting Misconduct

The purpose of the anonymous Reporting Hotline and Website from the nationally-known company NAVEX Global is to assist persons in making reports to the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln of sexual misconduct, boundary violations, suspicious behavior, or financial impropriety involving diocesan personnel. This hotline is not a substitute or alternative to calling law enforcement; it is intended to offer an additional opportunity to make sure these wrongs in the Church are uncovered and reported.
