I hereby authorize Specialized Needs Recreation and/or its Service Provider to request and receive any and all background information about or concerning me, including, but not limited to, my Criminal History, Driving Record, Employment History, Military Background, Civil Listings, Educational Background, Professional License from any Individual, Corporation, Partnership, Law Enforcement Agency, and other entities including my Present and Past Employers. I authorize Specialized Needs Recreation or any of its components to make reference checks for my volunteer service. I understand that this information will determine my eligibility as a volunteer/employee with Specialized Needs Recreation. 

The criminal history, as received from the reporting agencies, may include arrest and conviction data, plea bargains, deferred adjudications, and delinquent conduct committed as a juvenile. I understand that this information will be used, in part, to determine my eligibility for an employment/ volunteer position with this organization. I also understand that as long as I remain an employee or volunteer here, the criminal history check may be repeated at any time. I understand that I will have an opportunity to review the criminal history as received by the client/agency, and a procedure is available for clarification if I dispute the record as received. I also understand that the criminal history could contain information presumed to be expunged. 

I further release and discharge Specialized Needs Recreation and their Service Provider and all of their Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Officers, Employees, Contract Personnel, or Associates from any and all claims and liability arising out of any request for information or records under this authorization and/or procurement of an investigative consumer report and understand that it may contain information about my character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living, whichever are applicable. 

I understand that I have the right to make a written request within a reasonable period to Specialized Needs Recreation for additional information concerning the nature and scope of the investigation. I acknowledge that I have voluntarily provided the above information for employment/volunteer purposes, and I have carefully read and understood this authorization. 
I give my permission for SNR to perform any necessary criminal background checks.*

Code of Conduct
Specialized Needs Recreation (SNR) offers participants opportunities to meet new people and try new activities in a fun and safe environment. There is a mandatory Code of Conduct for everyone involved to ensure that all participants, parents/guardians, staff, Board members, and volunteers enjoy the SNR experience. Your signature below is implied and informed consent that you have reviewed, understand, and will follow the Code of Conduct while participating in SNR events.

Code of Conduct:

·         All communication is conducted appropriately and respectfully. Inappropriate tones, foul language, unkind words, pushing, shoving, threats, comments in a sexual nature, and bullying are not allowed.

·         Handholding, kissing, or any form of sexual contact is not allowed.

·         Cell phones, handheld games, and other electronic devices are allowed; however, SNR is not responsible for any damage, loss, or theft. If the device contains offensive content or becomes disruptive, it will be put away until after the day’s activity. This includes inappropriate messages to others involved in SNR.

·         Jeans with excessive holes, shorts that do not reach to mid-thigh, graphic t-shirts with lewd, foul language or depict drugs/alcohol/sexual themes, or crop tops exposing the stomach, halter tops, and spaghetti strap (less than two inches tops) are not allowed. Clothing and hats are not to be shared.

·         Individuals shall behave in a manner that does not endanger their health and safety or that of others.

·         All participants are to show respect to both the property of SNR, and locations visited during an SNR activity. Stealing, damaging, or failing to care for the property of SNR and others is unacceptable.

·         Use of illegal substances, tobacco products, vaping devices, and alcohol is prohibited at SNR or SNR events.

·         Possession of any item considered a weapon (including, but not limited to, firearms, knives, pocketknives, and switchblades) is prohibited at all times.

·         Participation at SNR and its events is voluntary and violation of any of the above Code of Conduct may result in being asked to leave SNR for the day. At the discretion of SNR Staff and Board, a major violation can result in being barred from all future SNR activities.

IF A VIOLATION OCCURRED:

A verbal warning will be documented in their file.

If the problem persists, SNR has the right to ask the individual to leave (or be picked up immediately).
