Why is it important to screen volunteers and staff?
A screening process for hiring new staff members or volunteers is critical to protecting children, because this process makes it harder for abusers to gain access to potential victims. When organizations are careful about screening, it sends a message that they are committed to preventing child abuse. Screening practices can include requiring standard application information, or thorough references and criminal background checks. For more information on screening processes, read the VIRTUS article “The Importance of Screening and Selecting Employees and Volunteers” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know.
