This a query to see if any museums out there use some type of method to check into the backgrounds of potential volunteers and/or other museum personnel? Since we will be serving a large audience which will mainly consist of school age children, we want to afford the safest environment for these children. We are currently working with local authorities but would like to know about how other museums handle background investigations?
