Abuse and Neglect of Children and Vulnerable Adults: Abuse Registry Sample Clauses
The "Abuse Registry" clause establishes requirements for checking whether individuals involved in the care of children or vulnerable adults are listed on official abuse registries. Typically, this clause mandates that organizations or employers must verify that employees, volunteers, or contractors are not registered as perpetrators of abuse or neglect before allowing them to work with these populations. For example, background checks may be conducted against state or national abuse registries as part of the hiring or onboarding process. The core function of this clause is to protect at-risk individuals by preventing those with a history of abuse or neglect from gaining positions of trust or responsibility over them.
