Family Care Safety Registry and Criminal Background Checks

Before any employee has contact with a participant, the Agency requests a Missouri State Highway Patrol criminal background check (nationwide when Missouri residence is under five years) and an EDL inquiry, usually through the Family Care Safety Registry; makes sure every employee registers with the Registry within 15 days of starting work; applies the hiring bars in RSMo 192.2495 and the good cause waiver rule; and documents every screening.
