Church Volunteer Central Partners with LexisNexis® Screening Solutions

LexisNexis helps us show due diligence. We can set up job codes or unique packages for each type of church worker or volunteer so we are consistent in our ordering— making the process easier for ministers who are not as familiar with the background screening process.

Challenge

  • Many churches feel immune to sex abuse, despite research showing that church volunteers commit 50 percent of all sex abuse in churches and employees commit 30 percent.
  • Sex offenders move from state to state and can easily hide out in churches that don’t screen their volunteers or employees, or don’t perform multi-state background checks.
  • Churches that don’t perform a national criminal background check on volunteers and employees can be sued for negligent hiring under the Volunteers for Children Act.

Solution

  • Develop a comprehensive background screening policy that includes volunteers and employees.
  • Use LexisNexis® Screening Solutions for an effective, yet user-friendly screening process that establishes proper due diligence.

Results

  • Enhanced due diligence.
  • Established screening program consistency.
  • Created a user-friendly process that is easy to follow and maintain.
  • Discourage high-risk individuals from joining an organization.
