Employee and Worker Screening and Selection

As part of its sexual abuse and misconduct prevention program, Natural Womanhood is committed to maintaining a diligent screening program for prospective and existing employees and volunteers who interact with children and young adults in the workplace or during any organization-related activity. Natural Womanhood’s Sexual Abuse and Misconduct Prevention Policy will be referred to during the stages of the recruitment process. Natural Womanhood utilizes identity and background checks – as appropriate – as barriers to application from potential offenders. All Staff and Volunteers will be asked to review the policy and affirm their understanding of it in writing.

Interaction with children

The purpose of this section is to avoid one-on-one interactions between employees or volunteers and minors that are not easily observable by others.
