Subject: [Announcements] Background checks

As was announced last year, the SCA is implementing a background  
check policy for the benefit of our membership and the organization.

The background checks will be performed by a properly licensed vendor  
for all persons in leadership and supervisory roles that may require  
contact with otherwise unchaperoned minors.

Officials who are required to have background checks include, but are  
not limited to, youth activities officers at all levels, adults  
acting as youth marshals for any martial activity, persons organizing/ 
in charge of youth activities for events.

This policy will be implemented on February 15, 2008. The Kingdom  
Seneschals will be informing those who need to undergo background  
checks of this requirement. Current officers requiring background  
checks that are subject to this policy will have 4 weeks to return  
the appropriate paperwork before their warrants will be revoked.

Any questions concerning the implementation of the policy should be  
directed to your Kingdom Seneschal.
