Youth Protection Policy

[rwanttaja]

Unfortunately the background check we do goes beyond the sex offender registry to other criminal convictions that EAA is not equipped to handle by ourselves. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind with youth protection is sex offenses, but there are other criminal behaviors that are also inappropriate to expose youth to beyond sex offences. We do appreciate the thougts.

So please explan what exactly the background checks are searching for and what info are you digging into.
financial, criminal, marital, physcological, medical, sex offender, driving records, Or other ?????????.
Just how deep does this go ???? Property ownership perhaps , How much of our privacy are we really giving away ??????

I gotta admit, I'm curious, too. This was billed as a "Protect the children from predators" action, but you're collecting other data NOT RELATED TO CHILD PREDATION???? Who is making the decision as to what is sufficient to ban someone from YE?

What does EAA get from the background check agency? I had assumed it was a go/no go as to child predation history. But sounds as if EAA receives a full dossier on each individual. Who at headquarters has access to this data? What specific criteria is used for elimination of someone from Young Eagles?

Y'know what's scary about this? Imagine the chapter Young Eagles coordinator contacts a pilot, and asks him to participate. The pilot, never having abused a child in his life, agrees and enters his name. But, 30 years ago as a teen, he shoplifted and got caught. An arrest record? EAA rejects him.

Everyone in the chapter will believe he was rejected as a sexual predator...because THAT'S what EAA claims the program is supposed to detect.

OK, time for some answers, EAA staffers:

1. What are the specific criteria used to reject someone as a Young Eagles pilot?

2. SPECIFICALLY, what information about each applicant does EAA receive from the background-investigation company?

3. Who at headquarters has access to this data?

4. What protections are in place to prevent other employees from accessing this data?

5. What are EAA's PII Protection policies? Do they specifically address this data?

6. What procedures are in place for EAA members to review their Dossier, and correct faulty information?
