In assessing the pertinences of a conviction record, the agency will consider such factors as the nature of the crime, when and where it occurred, and the duties of the position for which application is made. The checks will be completed prior to the start of training.

I knowingly and voluntarily release all former and current employers and references from any and all liability arising from their giving or receiving information about my employment history, my academic credentials or qualifications, and my suitability for volunteering as a representative of the State of Oregon.

I authorize the Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman to conduct a criminal history check and I agree to provide the office with the information necessary to complete the criminal record check.

I understand that any oral or written statement made during this process that is false, fraudulent, or misleading that is contained in this form or made in the course of any related application process, whether made by me or others at my request, will result in rejection of my application, denial of appointment to a volunteer position or dismissal if discovered after appointment.
