Staff and volunteers should have a completed FBI Background Check conducted prior to being allowed to work with children. Background Checks should be conducted no less then every 5 years thereafter.

Does your organization provide and require that all employees and volunteers working with children attend annual Child Abuse Prevention Training? If not, why not?
