Have you had a police background check done on you?

Question

As a Catholic whose ministry brings me into contact with children, I have had a police background check done on me to assure that I have never been accused of sexual abuse of a child.

I would like to know if other denominations are taking this precaution with volunteers who come into contact with children.

Answer 1

The LDS Church recently sent out a mandant from their "prophet/council" that no male is to be left alone in a room with a child even if he is assigned to be their teacher. That would be a volunteer - sunday only thing. Not the same - but similar in that a major religious org making steps to insure the protection of themselves (legally) and children (emotionally) in that order.

I've had to get a police background to qualify for a regular job that didn't come in contact with childen. I think it's a good thing.

Background checks are done with most jobs these days. While still in high school, a friend of mine had to pass a check and get finger printed before she was able to work an after school care program. "Lax hiring practices" would be the first thing to come under scrutiny if something were to happen to a child. Unfortunately in this day and age, it's a necessary procedure which still doesn't guarantee we'll weed out all of the sickos.
