I understand that as a condition of my volunteer/employment/contractor, my name will be checked against the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Adult/Child Protective Services Central Registries. A check of these registries is necessary to ensure that I meet provider standards. One copy of this form will be sent to the Adult Registry and one will be sent to the Child Protective Service Registry, s they are two separate areas.

The purpose of this check will determine if my name is being maintained on either registry as a result of previous abuse/neglect allegations which have been investigated and have been determined to be unfounded.

To the best of knowledge, I do not have a conviction or prior history of adult or child abuse/neglect or maltreatment. Neither have I been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude.

I hereby authorize the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to release information contained on the Adult or Child Protective Services Central Registry including the information that a record has been found to:
