Background Checks & Credit Reporting

The SHRC conducts criminal background checks on all coaches. In order for us to conduct a criminal background check, we must comply with numerous guidelines outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Please know that we will be requesting information only as it relates to a person's criminal background. We will not be requesting any information as it relates to a person's financial background.

Reasons for Background Checks

The SHRC conducts background checks for the following reasons:

• To keep the safety of our children a top priority
• To make an unwelcome environment for anyone who doesn't put children's needs first
• To keep people who have a history of inappropriate behavior or who are unfit to work with children out of our organization
• To select the best volunteer to coach

Notification

Coaches will be notified if they have been selected to coach. If you have any questions or comments, call the SHRC office at 913-592-2214.
