BACKGROUND CHECK: DSAHV requires volunteers working with individual consumers to submit to a background check. Criminal conviction does not necessarily bar an applicant from volunteering. The nature of the offense will be taken into consideration before a decision is made. There is no fee on the part of the volunteer for the background check. Screening must be completed before volunteers begin working with consumers
