Background Check

 

FVHCA has developed uniform Background Check Information for all students utilizing FVHCA facilities. The following are a list of all checks required:

  1. Background Information Disclosure Form (BID)
  2. Dept. of Justice Criminal Background Check http://wi-recordcheck.org/
  3. Dept. of Health and Family Services Caregiver Background Check (DHFS) http://wi-recordcheck.org/
  4. HHS Office of the Inspector General Exclusions check  http://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/
  5. EPLS check https://www.epls.gov/epls/search.do?ssn=true

The above checks must be performed and cleared without criminal record.  Any positive findings must be discussed with the clinical facility and permission granted for the student to proceed with clinical placement.

Regulatory approval, employment as a caregiver, and nonclient residency at and contracting with an entity are prohibited until rehabilitation approval is received, for all entities and programs that serve any clients who are under the age of 18. (For additional federal foster care bars, see part III. below.)
