Webinar Wednesday: the Diana Screen
Presented by Whitney Gabriel, National Director of Child Safety & Chief Operating Officer for Abel Screening
Approximately 10% of children and teens experience sexual abuse or sexual misconduct by adults entrusted with their care outside the home. This alarming reality highlights the urgent need for preventive measures to safeguard children cared for by youth-serving agencies.
Criminal background checks are the most commonly used tool for screening applicants in staff, volunteer, and foster/adoptive parent roles, but studies reveal that these checks identify fewer than 1% of applicants with a history of child sex offenses.
This webinar explores the critical challenges in identifying people who are a sexual risk to children and introduces an innovative, scientifically validated, computerized screening tool that has proven effective when used by youth-serving organizations to protect the children and teens in their care.
Join us for this insightful session to learn about groundbreaking approaches to child safety and prevention.
