Volunteering Criminal History?

Question

On one of my volunteering forms, it asks for "Request for Crminal Information Child/Adult Abuse Info act. Am I suppose to got a local police department and have them fill it out? Or am I suppose to fill it out?

Answer 1

I think you have to fill the form out so that who ever it is that you're volunteering for can request a backround check on you.

I've had to fill the sae kind of forms out for jobs to drive school buses and a couple of other jobs that I've had.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Dianna is absolutely right.  You should be provided with the paperwork to fill out.  It's called Act 33/34 and it basically gives the organization permission to check to make sure that you have not been found guilty of any child-related charges, such as rape, abuse, kidnapping, etc.

It's just a way to help ensure the safety of the kids you'll be working with.
