El Departamento de Educación y Cuidado Temprano (EEC) realiza una verificación de antecedentes penales (BRC) a todas las personas que desean afiliarse o trabajar en un programa autorizado, aprobado o financiado por el EEC. Este proceso incluye solicitar, recibir y evaluar información de organismos como el Departamento de Servicios de Información de Justicia Penal de Massachusetts (DCJIS); el Departamento de Niñez y Familia de Massachusetts (DCF); la Junta de Registro de Delincuentes Sexuales de Massachusetts (SORB); el Registro Nacional de Delincuentes Sexuales (NSOR); bases de datos estatales y nacionales de huellas dactilares; así como todos los registros, bases de datos y repositorios estatales y nacionales pertinentes sobre antecedentes penales, bienestar infantil y delincuentes sexuales.

Preguntas frecuentes (FAQs)
- ¿Es el personal de Intervención temprana (EI) elegible para una Transferencia de idoneidad? La Intervención temprana (EI) es un servicio de desarrollo integrado a nivel estatal disponible para las familias que abarca niños desde el nacimiento hasta los tres años de edad y supervisado por el Departamento de Salud Pública (DPH). El personal de Intervención Temprana no está obligado a someterse a una Verificación de antecedentes penales del EEC, sino que debe someterse a las verificaciones de antecedentes penales especificadas en las Normas Operativas de Intervención Temprana (CORI y SORI) y según lo exigido contractualmente. Por lo tanto, el personal de EI no puede optar por una Transferencia de idoneidad. Para obtener más información, consulte la política del EEC “Verificaciones de antecedentes penales de los empleados de Intervención Temprana y de los proveedores de servicios especializados en entornos de educación y cuidado tempranos”.
- Soy profesor de música y trabajo como contratista para varios programas de grupos y niños en edad escolar (GSA). ¿Tengo que solicitar verificaciones de antecedentes penales por separado para cada programa? No, no es necesario. Usted es una “persona afiliada” (consulte la sección «Definiciones» para obtener más información). Esto significa que su Determinación de idoneidad se transferirá entre los programas de la GSA con los que tenga contrato. Cada programa debe enviar un formulario de consentimiento BRC para iniciar el proceso de Transferencia de idoneidad.
- Soy profesor de música y trabajo como contratista para diferentes tipos de programas. ¿Tengo que solicitar verificaciones de antecedentes penales por separado para cada programa? Depende. Si es una “persona afiliada” que trabaja para diferentes tipos de programas, consulte las tablas de Transferencia de idoneidad en el sitio web del EEC. Consulte las tablas de “Cambio de tipo de programa” para ver si es posible una Transferencia de idoneidad entre los dos tipos de programas. Por ejemplo: si tiene un contrato con una GSA y una FCC, es posible realizar una Transferencia de idoneidad. Si tiene un contrato con una GSA y un programa residencial, no es posible realizar una Transferencia de idoneidad.
- Dirijo un programa FCC; mi hija vive conmigo y también tiene previsto trabajar como asistente en mi programa. ¿Cómo debe gestionar el proceso de Verificación de antecedentes penales? Su hija deberá solicitar dos verificaciones de antecedentes penales: una como miembro del hogar FCC y otra como asistente FCC. El EEC recomienda que solicite primero la verificación como asistente FCC y luego como miembro del hogar FCC. Debe solicitarlas en este orden porque es más probable que la Determinación de idoneidad se transfiera de asistente FCC a miembro del hogar FCC que viceversa.
- ¿Cuál es el plazo para responder a las preguntas de la Encuesta de Determinación de Idoneidad? Responda a estas preguntas para el periodo comprendido entre la última vez que presentó su EEC BRC y la fecha actual. Por ejemplo, al responder a la pregunta “A su entender, ¿ha descubierto el EEC o el administrador del programa BRC que usted proporcionó información falsa, engañosa o incompleta?”, usted respondería si el EEC o el administrador del programa BRC descubrieron que usted proporcionó información falsa, engañosa o incompleta desde la última vez que presentó un BRC hasta el día en que está completando la Encuesta de Determinación de Idoneidad.
Encuesta de Determinación de Idoneidad
Si el EEC ha determinado que el candidato es apto, deberá responder a una breve encuesta con preguntas de calificación. El EEC envía al candidato un enlace para realizar la encuesta por correo electrónico. Tenga en cuenta las siguientes indicaciones al completar la encuesta:
- Para todas las preguntas: El periodo de tiempo es desde la última vez que el candidato presentó un EEC BRC hasta la fecha actual.
- Para la pregunta n.º 1: Esta pregunta tiene dos partes. Responda “Sí” solo si ambas partes son ciertas.
- Para la pregunta n.º 3: si ha recibido un EEC BRC adecuado en los últimos 180 días y nunca ha estado afiliado/empleado en un programa con licencia o financiado por el EEC, responda “No”, ya que no se trata de una interrupción de la afiliación/empleo.
- Para la pregunta n.º 6: esto incluye cualquier actividad delictiva, incluido acusaciones, cargos, condenas, etc.
