| In order to fulfill United Church
of Religious Science IYFM’s clear intention:
To make UCRS Covenanted member locations a
safe place for children of all ages.
To protect all youth volunteers from false allegations of abuse.
|
| |
we strongly recommend that you
perform a background check on all staff and volunteers who work
with youth before they serve in your church.
We have researched and found two services available that are recommended
by The GuideOne Center for Risk Management, an organization dedicated
to helping churches, faith-based schools, and senior living communities
safeguard their organizations. |
| |
 |
Trak-1 is a nation-wide program that
provides instant access to background records through its comprehensive
and innovative online screening systems. |
| To download instructions for using
Trak-1 through the UCRS-IYFM contract, please click Trak-1 |
| |
| Go to: http://www.trak-1.com/ for
more information about Trak-1 services. |
| |
| Another service available in California
is Live Scan. This system utilizes finger-printing for identification
verification. Research has shown that the database they tap into
for the criminal record check is not as comprehensive as the Trak-1
system. |
| |
"Live
Scan" is a finger-printing service abailable
throught the Californial Department of Justice. |
| To download instructions and forms
for using Live Scan, please click Live Scan |
| |
| Go to: http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/index.htm for
more information on Live Scan. |
| |
| Go to: http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.pdf to
find the Live Scan site closest to you, and scroll down to the
location nearest your home. |
