A high priority of Lapapoe is quality, safety and security. We therefore, have strict safeguarding requirements that applicants must meet before joining us. This includes the following
Criminal History: Lapapoe conducts a criminal background screen on all Partners before joining the platform. This is conducted using a third-party background check vendor. We must receive the results of this check before applicants can be accepted
Sexual Offender History: Lapapoe uses the National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) to screen applicants. This is the central repository used by Sheriff’s Offices. All applicants must pass this screen.
Licensing and Professional Certification Verification: Lapapoe also checks the licensing and professional certifications of applicants. Lapapoe uses sources such as the Secretary of State Professional Licensing Portal, University Certificates, and University Recruitment Portals to conduct this search.
CPR/ First Aid Certification: Lapapoe checks the First Aid/CPR certification of applicants.
Right to Work: In order to ensure applicants have passed the required immigration and security protocols to serve families, we require applicants to submit a state or federal-issued form of identification.
Interview: We conduct interviews with applicants. This is to get an understanding of motivations for working with children with additional needs.
The qualifications and certifications of partners are checked through sources such as the Secretary of State Professional Licensing Portal, University Certificates, and University Recruitment Portals
