How will I know the status of the background check?

(1) If you have been approved by the background check:
(a) The department will notify you, and your prospective employer, or your supervisor, if you have requested a contract or approval for unsupervised access to children.
(b) The department will not directly notify you, and will instead continue the process for approving your application if you have requested a license or certification to care for children.
(2) If you have been disqualified by the background check:
(a) The department will notify you in writing and include any laws and rules that require disqualification;
(b) The department will also notify the care provider, the prospective employer, or the licensor; and
(c) You will not receive a license, contract, certification, or be authorized to have unsupervised access to children.
