[MR] Fwd: [Announcements] Background checks

[Andrea Davis]

Greetings!
This is the announcement that went out this week on Youth Background Checks
from Society.
In February, I will be the first person who we submit for a background check
in Atlantia, to make sure the process works.
When the background check is run, we will send the forms to Corporate, who
will request the background check from the vendor. No one in Atlantia will
see the results of a background check, we get a pass/fail notice, not the
actual information. Neither Atlantia nor the Corporate office will be
storing personal information, from the forms or the results of the check.


I will send the branch officers more information as it becomes available.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Fiona MacLeod
Seneschal, Atlantia

As was announced last year, the SCA is implementing a background
check policy for the benefit of our membership and the organization.

The background checks will be performed by a properly licensed vendor
for all persons in leadership and supervisory roles that may require
contact with otherwise unchaperoned minors.

Officials who are required to have background checks include, but are
not limited to, youth activities officers at all levels, adults
acting as youth marshals for any martial activity, persons organizing/
in charge of youth activities for events.

This policy will be implemented on February 15, 2008. The Kingdom
Seneschals will be informing those who need to undergo background
checks of this requirement. Current officers requiring background
checks that are subject to this policy will have 4 weeks to return
the appropriate paperwork before their warrants will be revoked.

Any questions concerning the implementation of the policy should be
directed to your Kingdom Seneschal.
