What You Will Learn

You know you need to screen your staff and volunteers. But knowing what to check — and where to find it — is a different challenge entirely.

This free one-hour webinar replay cuts through the confusion. You’ll learn what types of background checks are actually available, what a Social Security trace is and what it can (and can’t) tell you, which specialized registries you need to know about, and how to decide what combination of checks makes sense for your specific organization.

Whether you’re just building your screening process or wondering if your current one has gaps, this webinar gives you a practical, no-fluff foundation. Taught by experienced child welfare attorneys who have spent decades advising youth-serving organizations, this isn’t theory — it’s the information you need to make smarter, safer decisions about who works with the children in your care.

Free. One hour. Immediately actionable.
