Policy:

It is the policy of the Iroquois- Kankakee ROE Teen REACH Program that all staff and adult volunteers and interns who have one-on-one contact with children and youth in the programs must have a background check completed and the result of each background check placed in their personnel file at the Teen REACH program site.

Procedure:

  1. Each applicant must submit a written application, a disclosure statement and references. Each applicant is required to give written consent for the Teen REACH program to obtain Illinois State Police criminal background checks and a DCFS CANTS report (No person will be hired or allowed to serve in the capacity of a volunteer or intern without this written consent).
  2. Each applicant for a Teen REACH position is hired through a comprehensive personal interview.
  3. The results of the Illinois State Police Criminal Background check and the DCFS CANTS reports will be kept in the employee, volunteer or intern file at the Teen REACH program.
