Background Checks: The Importance of Choosing the Right Provider
Background Checks, while not a "silver bullet," are crucial to an effective Safety System, yet misconceptions--such as the belief they are universally applicable and that all providers offer the same service level--leave organizations vulnerable. To truly protect those in your care, Background Checks must be tailored to specific roles, especially for staff working directly with vulnerable populations in less supervised environments.
Love & Norris's Background Check product offers seven screening levels or customizable options, providing greater flexibility than standard packages. While other vendors' packages may seem cost-effective, they can lead to higher long-term costs and, more importantly, risk devastating the life of an innocent individual.
By partnering with PHLY, you not only gain access to superior Background Check solutions, but also to dedicated professionals specializing in sexual abuse risk who share your commitment to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults you strive to serve.
