Protect your child - use a Background Check now

By: Jane Way

We have something in common, as parents we will do anything we can to keep our children safe and out of harms way. There is nothing more important to me and I know you feel the same way

We were chatting while sorting out my post charges on some parcels the other day and the post lady told me what happened to her daughter on her first day of school, the week before. One of the teachers put her on the wrong bus and she was lost for 2 hours.

I asked if she was OK as I felt a cold chill throughout my body. Thankfully the answer was yes. The poor little girl had ridden around in the wrong school bus for over 2 hours while the bus driver completed there entire route.

I was as shocked as you are. Why didn't the bus driver call in that she had a little 4 year old riding on the bus? Why didn't she respond when called by the school? How could the teacher put her on the wrong bus when she had the correct details on her jacket? Where were the police to help?

The ending to the story is simple – she is now going to another school which does not require a bus trip and her mum drops her off and picks her up. She has changed her work to make sure that she can.

This story is a reminder about how we blindly trust teachers and child care workers without doing our own background check son these people. I have all to often read how it has been discovered that convicted criminals are working in schools as proper background checks were not carried out by schools or the child care centers.

Though we can never be 100% sure, a simple Background Report on the people that our children are going to directly interact with can help to give us a clearer picture of the kind of people that will be interacting with our children.

Do you know that you can have access to millions of records with just a few click and less than $30 per year? Once you have access to the system, you can within seconds check out your child's bus driver, there after school carer, even their teachers and school support staff.

I want to do everything I can to keep my children safe, so even though the school may have checked out the person or the child care center been thorough in there review of the staff they hire, I want to do a quick background check myself to make sure.

Truth is my children are worth the few minutes it takes to check who they might be dealing with when they are in someone else's care and I know that yours are too. I know I can't protect them from everything in life, however I do know for certain that I can do this for them. The few dollars and few minutes of my time that I spend on doing this helps to add an extra layer of protection on them and gives me the peach of mind I have done everything I can for my children to keep them safe.

While it is essential while my children are so little, I have shown friends with teenagers how to use the background report system as well. There is never a time when we want to stop looking out for our children is there.

Take a quick look now and see if this is something that will help you better protect your children Background Report on the Bus Driver As I said before, it will less than $30 for some peace of mind.
