Form Cfs 718E PDF Details

Ensuring the safety and well-being of children in care facilities is of paramount importance, making thorough background checks an essential component of the hiring process. The CFS 718-E form, developed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and revised in December 2013, serves this critical function. Required for employees and volunteers, aged 13 or older, working in a variety of child care settings, this form facilitates a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's eligibility through a meticulous review of their criminal history, involvement in child abuse/neglect investigations, and other pertinent personal information. The process involves the collection of detailed personal data, including past residences and any aliases, alongside explicit consent for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to conduct criminal and child abuse checks. Moreover, the form mandates the disclosure of any past criminal offenses and instances of being indicated as a perpetrator in child abuse or neglect cases, ensuring a thorough assessment of potential risks. Employers play a crucial role in this process, required to verify the completeness and accuracy of the information provided before proceeding with fingerprinting. This form not only ensures the safety of children but also aids in the maintenance of a secure environment within Illinois child care facilities. Importantly, individuals have the right to contest any discrepancies found in their records, as indicated by the form's instructions, underscoring the process's fairness and transparency. The CFS 718-E form, therefore, stands as a vital tool in safeguarding vulnerable populations and upholding the standards of care expected by the community.

AUTHORIZATION/CERTIFICATION

I authorize the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to conduct an investigation to determine whether I have ever been charged with a crime and, if so, the disposition of those charges. I authorize the Department to request information and assistance from the U.S. Justice Department and the Illinois Department of Law Enforcement in the conduct of this investigation. I authorize the Department to periodically search the Child Abuse and Neglect Tracking System to determine whether I have been a perpetrator of an “indicated” incident of child abuse or neglect pursuant to the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The child abuse and neglect background check and the criminal history investigation may be used for considering an application for license, current or prospective employment, or service as a volunteer in a child care facility. Persons 13-17 years of age signing this form authorize a search of CANTS and LEADS only and are not subject to fingerprinting.

I understand that information obtained as a result of my authorizing this investigation is confidential but may be shared with my employer, prospective employer or with authorized licensing staff in accordance with applicable state and federal law and DCFS Regulations. I further certify that the information provided on this form is true and correct. I acknowledge that falsification of any information provided above and/or the results of the background check may be full and sufficient grounds to deny the application for licensure or may result in the termination of my employment.
