Consent to Reference and Criminal History Check

The checks will assist the Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman in making an informed decision about candidate qualifications. 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 authorize the Oregon Long-Term Care Ombudsman (LTCO) to conduct a reference check with my present and/or previous employer(s) and/or volunteer positions, as well others I have listed who personally know me. I understand that reference information may include, but not be limited to, verbal and written inquiries or information about my employment performance, professional demeanor, rehire potential, dates of employment, and employment history.

My signature below authorizes my former or current employers and references to release information regarding my employment record with their organizations and to provide any additional information that may be necessary for my application for volunteering at the LTCO, whether the information is positive or negative. 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.

This form may be photocopied or reproduced as a facsimile, and these copies will be as effective as a release or consent as the original which I sign.
