Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) November 14, 2009 -- Indianapolis, Indiana. On Target Screening, Inc., a leader in resident screening, tenant screening and volunteer screening services, has launched its Church Volunteer Screening Program, a background screening solution that meets volunteer screening standards established by the National Child Protection Act.
On October 9, 1998 the Volunteers for Children Act was signed into law as Public Law 105-251, amending the National Child Protection Act of 1993. This law affects any business or organization providing care, treatment, education, training, instruction, supervision, or recreation for children, the elderly, or individuals with disabilities... whether public, private, for-profit, non-profit, or voluntary.
With this amendment, if a volunteer or employee of an organization sexually molests a child, elderly person or individual with a disability in his or her care and if it can be shown this volunteer or employee had previously been convicted of a relevant crime in the United States that organization may be held liable for negligent hiring.
On Target Screening works with each church or non-profit organization to develop customized, comprehensive, affordable volunteer screening package. Steven Foster, President of the company said “we understand that you welcome everyone to your church. We know that some of these folks might have some very colorful pasts and most importantly that they are forgiven. Our services are not designed to simply reject any volunteer. Our focus and mission is simple - helping you discover the best fit for every member and volunteer in your church, while you to focus on your mission.”
To help churches and non-profit organizations comply with the National Child Protection Act, On Target Screening is offering its Basic Church Volunteer Screening Package for $12.00. This package includes a comprehensive address history report, a national criminal report, and a national sex offender search. "We developed this special package pricing to reinforce our commitment to help churches and non-profit organizations maintain compliance of all volunteer screening regulations," said Steven Foster. "This is especially important for churches because many interact with potentially vulnerable populations on a regular basis." Clients have the ability to email links to potential volunteers to collect the personal information required to conduct volunteer screening checks. Clients also have the option to require the volunteer to pay the screening costs.”
If negative information is discovered on a volunteer’s background report, clients have the option to suppress the details, pending further investigation. After On Target Screening completes an investigation and verification process, based on the client’s screening policy a NOT QUALIFIED recommendation is available, without releasing the details of the report. Clients may also designate a staff member to receive any negative information.
