To DDA Service Providers who administer background checks:
All Developmental
Disability Administration (DDA) service providers are required to run
background checks on employees or prospective hires who may
have unsupervised access to individuals with developmental disabilities.
Currently, these background checks are completed through the Department of Social and Health Services’
(DSHS) Background Check Central Unit (BCCU).
A new, online background
check system is scheduled to go live June 2018. This system will accommodate
all currently using DSHS BCCU to run background checks.
How to prepare for the new background check system:
- All BCCU accounts are required
to have one primary account administrator. The primary account administrator
will assign system users and perform other administrative functions within
the account. If you have not already registered your account(s) and
identified a primary account administrator, register now,
or as soon as possible.
- If you already registered, but
need to change the primary account administrator or their contact
information, re-register
with the new information..
Get Involved:
- Customers can participate in
May testing sessions. If interested in testing the
system, contact Beth
Elder.
Training:
- User manuals and training
videos will be available on the Background Check System website
in early May.
