U.S. Screening Trends
Background checks on church employees and volunteers have increased by 12% year-over-year.
Not all background checks are created equal, while PMM educates and emphasizes proper ordering, 40% or 4 out of every 10 churches are knowingly ordering a lesser search than they should. This could potentially result in allowing a bad actor into the church.
Less than 10% of churches are actively rescreening their volunteers and staff annually.
Background Checks Are the First Step of Many:
Define protocols and processes designed to indicate which background check is right for each applicant based on information, behavior or role at the church.
Rescreen all volunteers and staff at a minimum of once per year; leverage an integrated system to ensure records and compliance are up-to-date.
If the applicant is coming from another state, conduct a background check that queries the previous address.
