Department Representatives and Hiring Managers:
2022 Summer Camp Background Checks
The 2022 Summer Camp season is around the corner, and preparations must be made soon. Summer Camp Background Checks are conducted and adjudicated by The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) through the Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse as mandated by Florida Statute 409.175<http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=409.175&URL=0400-0499/0409/Sections/0409.175.html>. All new and returning summer camp personnel (owners, operators, administrative staff, employees, and volunteers) who provide care to minors must be screened and determined eligible by DCF via a Level 2 Fingerprint-based Background Check before working, training, or volunteering for the camp.
Summer Camps held virtually still require a background check due to the live virtual interaction. Please coordinate with the HR Background Check Team to submit the Summer Camp Roster appropriately.
The Summer Camp Page on the Background Check Website<https://hr.fsu.edu/?page=ers/bgc/15-summer-background-checks> provides a detailed guide on initiating Summer Camp Background Checks, including forms, exemptions, and timelines to process Summer Camp Background Checks more efficiently. All Summer Camp Candidate DCF Clearinghouse Forms have been updated. Please replace all previously saved versions with the 2022 versions.
Required Summer Camp documents must be submitted to The Office of Human Resources Background Check Team via FSU Nifty<https://nifty.fsu.edu/> to hr-ers at fsu.edu<mailto:HR-ERS at FSU.EDU> no later than 30 days before the anticipated start dates to ensure the timely processing of DCF Summer Camp Background Checks.
If hiring camp counselors or staff as OPS employees, please visit the HR Employee Data Management Website<https://hr.fsu.edu/sections/employee-data-management?page=edm/edm_home> and review the OPS Employment Checklist<https://hr.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/upcbnu2186/files/PDF/Forms/DepartmentalRepresentativeEmploymentChecklistOPS.pdf> to ensure the hires are made efficiently and employees are paid on time.
