The Diana Screen  is a child safety screen for job applicants and volunteers who want to work with children and teens. It helps identify adults who fail to recognize adult-child sexual boundaries or who are at a high risk for having sexually abused a child in the past, and classifies applicants into two categories of hiring risk.

 

                                                                           Up until recently, the best anyone could do to keep individuals like this away                                                                               from children was to conduct criminal background checks. But only 6% of child                                                                    sexual abuse is ever reported to the police. In fact, ChoicePoint reported                                                                                    looking at over 3.5 million background checks and finding only 0.2% that                                                                                    could be identified as sexual offenders.

 

                                                                           In contrast, The Diana Screen  does not rely on public records or criminal                                                                                   histories. The Diana Screen  methodology provides much more effective                                                                                     results. Administered to job applicants and volunteers, The Diana Screen  is                                                                               a child safety screen that helps identify adults who fail to recognize adult-                                                                                   child sexual boundaries or who are at a high risk for having sexually abused a child in the past. Because The Diana Screen  does not rely on public records or criminal histories, it does a better job of helping to identify those individuals who may detract from the safety and welfare of the children in an organization. The Diana Screen  is dramatically more effective than criminal background checks in protecting children and teens against this risk.
