I am in the process of preparing for a conference presentation and I wanted to pick your collective brains.
1) For programs/organizations that work with minors (defined here as under 18), do all programs conduct criminal background investigations? I guess I am looking for a percentage of companies that do and don't.
2) Further, for organizations that work with minors, do you complete background investigations on all staff or just staff in direct contact (e.g., leaders)? Is the screening criteria the same?
3) Are there any programs here that are impacted by Homeland Security Presidential Directive -12 (HSPD-12)?
4) Are there any programs here that are affected by the Corporation for National Service's (AmeriCorps) new ruling requiring criminal history background checks on all AmeriCorps Ed. award recipients? If so, are you screening ONLY for the Corporation's single disqualifying offense or have you established other/additional disqualifying offenses?
In advance, thanks for your help.

Anyone who may come in contact with protectedpopulations (if they are at the facility in an office it counts).

Everyone that may be at the facility or on the field when children could be present get a background check.
All employees get a pre-employment screening including a background check.
Coaches, volunteers, bus drivers, all get background checks, every year.
