YSO Academy

Background checks are just the beginning. This webinar walks youth-serving organization leaders through a comprehensive screening process that protects children at every stage—from the application that prompts risky candidates to self-select out, to tiered screening matched to access level, structured interviews, professional and personal reference checks, and probationary supervision. 

You'll also learn how to document your decisions to defend them later and how to audit and strengthen screening practices for staff who are already on board. Whether you're building a screening policy from scratch or closing gaps in an existing one, this session gives you a practical, legally grounded framework you can put to work immediately.
