Background Check

All serving ones/helpers over the age of 18 who attends any overnight SCYP events, must complete a mandatory background check once every 3 years. Without a background check, they will not be allowed to attend.

If you are unsure whether or not you have submitted a background check within the last 3 years, please ask your Locality Contact BEFORE you submit another application. 

Information necessary for this background check is safe, protected, and confidential. A verified and trusted 3rd party agency called ProtectMyMinistry.com will collect and process this information, you may visit their site for more details.

Noted that this background check ONLY applies to SCYP events. For any local activity that involves children or young people you need to submit a background check or fingerprinting through your local church.
