Re: **IMPORTANT FIRST EMAIL BLAST**/Youth Protection Policy Update

Quote:
Why is the Team Mentor’s Social Security number necessary to conduct the screening?
The background check process requires that records are searched by name, social security number, and date of birth. Not including the social security will result in incomplete and inaccurate reports.
So, the reason why they need my SSN for the background check is that they require my SSN to do a complete and accurate background check?

Thanks for clearing that up. If my many classes on formal and informal logic serve me correctly, that would be circular reasoning.

This update of the FAQ's is a nice try. It clears up a number of questions but conveniently ignores others.

I am a little closer to filling out one of these background check forms but I am still disappointed in this specific implementation of a Youth Protection Policy.

To the originators of this policy: "Keep tryin' guys!"
