Home / Screening & Hiring / Develop Your Screening Policy
Here’s how you can develop a screening policy that fits your organization’s role, size, and resources:
In addition to meeting screening requirements for specific positions, your organization should implement some level of screening and background checks for all employees and volunteers—both youth and adults (although information for youth will likely be limited).
No exception to screening should be made, even for individuals known to the screener or to your organization. However, the level of screening may change based on an individual’s level of engagement with children and youth, and especially if unsupervised interactions are expected. You should consider stronger requirements for the screening of individuals who are likely to have any direct unsupervised or unmonitored contact with children and youth.
