How do dioceses and eparchies evaluate the background of clergy, employees, and volunteers who work with children?
Dioceses/eparchies are to utilize the resources of law enforcement and other community agencies to evaluate backgrounds. Individual states have different rules for non-criminal justice agencies to access criminal history records so there is not just one way to do this. Dioceses/eparchies need to work with local law enforcement officials to determine the best course of action.
