PLEASE
NOTE An individual will
not be able to serve as a Child Welfare Community Council member if he or she
or his or her spouse is currently employed by a child welfare
organization. Nor can a person serve
as a Council member if she currently has an open file with a child welfare
organization or has had a file open with such an organization in the past two
years. It is not that
individuals who work with child welfare organizations or have open files with
such organizations cannot be good Council members – rather it is important
that all parties feel that Council members are approaching the issue at hand
with an open mind and free of any biases or the appearance of bias. Also, for the safety of our youth and adult
participants, we do require a criminal reference check. A criminal record does
not prevent a person from being a volunteer. Do you have any objections to
providing a criminal reference check. oYes oNo |

The
Community Council Program is committed to protecting the privacy of its
participants and volunteers. All information and disclosures will remain
