National Education Campaign on Screening

Many volunteers today are involved in positions of trust with children and other vulnerable
individuals. Organizations are becoming increasingly aware of their obligation to provide services that are well-managed and as free from risk as possible. Proper selection and screening of individuals are significant elements of this effort.

We have a valuable screening process.

Screening refers to the range of procedures and
processes used by organizations to carefully scrutinize individuals
who apply for paid and unpaid positions in order to choose the best
candidates and to weed out - as far as possible - those who are incompetent
or who have the potential to do harm.

Ten Steps to a Safer Community

Determining the Risk:
Organizations can control the risk in their programs by taking steps
to minimize, prevent or eliminate the risk altogether.

Position Design and Position Description:
Careful position design and clear position description determine the
position's level of risk while sending the message that your organization
is serious about screening.

Application Form:
An application form can request permission to do a police records check
or any other screening measure, and can only ask for information
related to the requirements of the position being filled.

Interview:
Interviews help ensure that you hire people who meet your requirements
and fit in with your organization.

Reference Checks:
Don't assume that all applicants will only give you names of people
who will speak well of them.

Police Records Check (PRCs):
PRCs are one step in the 10-step screening process. PRCs signal - in
a very public way - that the organization is concerned about the
safety of its clients.

Orientation and Training:
Orientation and training sessions offer an opportunity to observe volunteers
in a social setting and to provide information on your policies and
procedures.

Supervision and Evaluation:
The greater the risk in a position, the more frequent and intense the
supervision and evaluation process should be.

Participant or Client Follow-ups:
Regular contact with clients and family members can be a deterrent
to someone who might otherwise do harm.

The Education Dossier
The Dossier is a presentation folder of fact sheets in Q&A format which deal with a specific aspect of screening.

Duty of Care
This 15 minute video provides an introduction to the need for screening staff and volunteers in the positions of trust with vulnerable individuals, and includes interviews with representatives of organizations which routinely screen staff.
