Pro tip: If a partner organization requires background checks for your organization's presenters, familiarize yourself with the process and information required by the presenter's local police service.

Because they're not all the same. And some people struggle with filling out forms. Which can blow back on you, even though none of the above is within your control.

@StaceyCornelius I just had some direct experience with that filling out a police background check authroization form. I spent a good hour going through the form convinced I must have missed a checkbox. After church on Sunday, my pastor offered to come and help. He was able to check the inaccessible undetectable checkboxes in the otherwise totally accessible slightly confusing form. At least one other blind volunteer had the same difficulty.

@mfeir I had to do one as well and the UI is extremely poorly designed – as in something that looks like it was built in 1995.

Some municipalities also require extra information from the organization requiring the check, some don't. It's not a fun process.
