Nonprofit FAQs
While not always legally required for every volunteer role, it is strongly recommended as a best practice to screen all individuals who interact with vulnerable populations (children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities) to protect clients and the organization from liability
The screening process and legal requirements (like the FCRA) are the same for both. The difference lies in the scope of the check, which should be appropriate for the level of responsibility and access the individual has. CoreScreening can assist you in creating a custom package based on role type as well as level of access the volunteer will have to sensitive information or populations.
The standard recommendation is to conduct complete background checks at least every five years, However, many nonprofits may have more stringent systems in place or choose to screen annually when volunteers are working with sensitive populations or data. Ultimately, criminal background checks are only as good as the day they were performed so it is important to establish a policy that works best for your nonprofit.
The most common criminal history checks include a nationwide and county criminal history search, an identity verification (SSN trace), and a national sex offender registry search. Additional checks like Motor Vehicle Driving or credit history checks are typically requested based on the specific role's duties.
The final decision rests with the nonprofit organization, not the background check provider. Corescreening’s platform provides users with the ability to accept or reject candidates directly within the background check report, based on their organizations policies.
Child Abuse and Neglect Registries FAQ
Yes. CoreScreening provides or facilitates state Child Abuse & Neglect Registry checks, often referred to as CPS, DCS, DHS, or Child Protective Services checks, for organizations serving children and vulnerable populations.
No. Each state establishes its own access rules. Some states allow authorized third parties to facilitate requests, while others require the applicant or eligible organization to submit the request directly.
CoreScreening helps facilitate the process. We identify the appropriate state agency, provide the required forms or portal instructions, explain authorization requirements, and help your organization track the request through completion.
Depending on the position, applicable laws, and your organization's screening policy, both may be appropriate. A criminal background check does not replace a Child Abuse & Neglect Registry search when one is required or appropriate.
Yes. CoreScreening helps nationwide organizations navigate state-specific requirements and processes, providing a more consistent screening program without requiring your team to research each state's procedures independently.
