Section 110-04-0010 - What is the purpose of this chapter?

This chapter establishes rules for background checks conducted by the department of children, youth, and families (DCYF) for child welfare purposes and does not apply to background checks conducted for child care or early learning purposes as they are addressed in chapter 110-06 WAC. The department does background checks on individuals who are licensed, certified, contracted, employed in a group care facility, or authorized to care for or have unsupervised access to children. Background checks are conducted to find and evaluate any history of criminal convictions or civil adjudication proceedings, including those involving abuse, abandonment, financial exploitation, or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult.
