Did you know?

Performing the screening for your staff makes you compliant with the law.

Screening acts as a deterrent for those who may want to harm the children.

Effective screening and vetting gives the organization as well as the parents a sense of peace of mind.

OUR MISSION

One of the many critical interventions that must be applied by all institutions who have the care of children on a permanent or temporary basis, is the legislated and regular screening of all its staff and volunteers who work with or near children.

To this end we would like to specifically assist institutions in getting their staff and volunteers appropriately screened. This means that we take their fingerprints and submit that against the Criminal Database and then also check again the Sex Offended and Child Protection databases.

It is our dream to one day see that all spaces where children frequent, are safer for them and free from child predators and those who may wish to bring harm to the children.

Legal Requirements

We are motivated by Matt 18:1-6 and in particular vs 6 which says; "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

What we mean, is that the Lord has a great concern for the welfare of His children and harming them is not an option.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about what we do and why.

Do you need our vetting and screening services?

If you answer YES to any of the following questions:

Do you work at an organization like a school, sports club, religious institution, creche, Au Pair, early learning centre, childcare centre, or any other space where children gather?
Do you manage anyone who works with children in any manner?
Do you transport other people’s children regularly?
Do you volunteer to work or assist in spaces which children frequent – like schools and churches?

THEN YOU DO!

Who can report an incident?

Any person who has reasonable grounds to suspect child abuse, can report it.
Reports can be made to a police official, a social worker, or a place like Child Welfare.
Reporting is discretionary for the general public, but for mandated professionals, it is a legal requirement

What happens if you don't get screened?

If it is found that you are on one of the registers (you have previously been found guilty of an offense) it is possible that you may lose your job immediately.
If you are the employer and a person was not screened and now is found to have committed an offense you are also guilty and can face imprisonment.

Can I check my organisation?

A great place to start is to run our Self-Audit. You complete all the questions and we will provide you with the results. Most people don't realise where they are vulnerable.
