Report Misconduct (Title IV Intake)

If you have an experience to share about a clergy person violating standards of conduct, we are prepared to listen and respond. The Diocese of Vermont has coordinated with Canon Tina Pickering from the Diocese of New Hampshire to serve as our diocesan intake officer.  Her contact information is: email tpickering@nhepiscopal.org; office phone: 603-224-1914 ext. 125; or cell: 603-365-0170 for you to share your concerns. More information about the canons that govern clergy conduct (known as “Title IV”) can be found online.

A detailed website explaining the complaint process and what constitutes an offense is found at www.titleiv.org. Additionally, it also explains various assistance and or pastoral response one may receive during the process. Additionally, the website also features a step-by-step analysis of the process.
