45-02 · Background Screening Documents

On the Background screening results page FSC observed under the section Department of Children and Families Eligibility the driver did not have Item DCF child care status as eligible or an eligibility date as required prior to being allowed to work with children unsupervised. Instead, the Status is N/A. T.A. An individual may be hired under one of these circumstances: 1. If all components are complete with an eligible screening and documented in the employees file. 2. Provisional hire status upon notification email from the Department allowing the individual to be hired for a 45-day period while out of state records are being requested and awaiting clearance. During those 45 days the individual must be under the supervision of screened and trained child care personnel when in contact with the children. 3. Screening requests have been initiated, but before results have been received, the individual may be hired for training and orientation purposes only in accordance with s. 435.06(2)(d), Florida Statutes. Until screening is complete showing good moral character, the employee may not be in contact with the children as specified in this statute.
