Many churches rely heavily on background checks as the solution for child sexual abuse risk. Is this heavy reliance well-founded? In this webinar, Gregory Love will address the realities of background check effectiveness. Love will also explain other factors that further impact background check effectiveness that are unknown to ministry leaders: federal and state legislative limits on search scopes and reports, state record purges, corners cut by background check vendors, and more.
