The Skillful Screening Process educates your team

In our programs, we are responsible for the children in our care. Screening employees and volunteers is an important responsibility for managers, coordinators and administrators.

How can we distinguish between a dangerous individual and an appropriate candidate ready to serve?

Hiring and screening personnel must be trained to recognize high-risk responses on applications, on reference forms and during an interview.  These responses can reveal a dangerous individual who may not be appropriate to work with children or youth.

Skillful Screening is a deterrent to abusers

Silence and ignorance are the playground of the abuser. The Skillful Screening Process, combined with appropriate Criminal Background Checks, can encourage a sexual predator to ‘self-select out’ of employee or volunteer pools. These measures help  prevent the abuser from having access to children through our programs.
