At the core of what JDP does is protecting vulnerable populations, like children. Our background screenings for youth serving organizations have helped us protect over 10 million children annually across youth sports leagues, school districts, church camps, and more.
We do this by leveraging all the resources we can to improve the technology in our background checks:
- Biometric Verification: Liveness detection that ensures the applicant taking the background check is who they say they are.
- Continuous Monitoring: Detects updates in records and flags new changes or misconduct in real-time, month after month.
- Digital Credential Wallet: Portable, verified records that move with individuals across roles and organizations.
But it takes more than just background checks to protect kids, it takes a change in culture.
That’s why we created our Every Child. Every Day. Initiative. We believe every child deserves the freedom to grow and learn in safe environments. We’re here to close the systematic gaps in background screening, but we want to encourage youth-serving organizations to do more.
