Infrastructure: Background Checks

Best Practice Checklist:

• Determine whether there are positions (e.g., working with children or finances) that require background as well as reference checks
• Document the necessary steps to complete the process of background checks and fingerprinting; check local procedures and costs in different municipalities
• Amended Senate Bill 187 allows certain organizations that supervise children to request that BCII conduct criminal records checks with respect to current or prospective volunteers
