Background
Screening Is No Longer An Option for Churches
Over the past 20 years there has been an explosion in the
number of lawsuits and media attention related to misconduct by pastors,
church administrators and volunteers. These incidents have a
devastating impact on victims, the church and the entire community.
An adverse incident can destroy a church's reputation and witness in a
community.
The failure of a church to screen both paid employees and volunteers can
subject the church to liability. Several recent legal cases have found
that churches and other volunteer organizations were liable under the
negligent hiring or negligent retention doctrine even though the perpetrator
was a volunteers.
Three Areas of Significant Liability for Churches
- Sexual Misconduct
- Theft
- Accidental Injury or Death
Avoid the "cheap database" search that many background screening firms market as a comprehensive background screening program. Comprehensive background screening does not have to cost a lot but should involve a combination of Person ID/ Verification, National Criminal Database, National Sex Offender and County Criminal Search and for administrative and pastoral positions an employment credit report.
Pricing starts at $25 for a Comprehensive Package with Additional Volume Discounts Available
