Hi I have a question. Someone (adult in this case) at our gym experienced an incident at a comp with an individual and some other parents had expressed some concerns of the same individual acting in a "weird" way around the CPs at a comp. It turns out this individual was working there for the EP - not in a position of direct interaction but certainly had a wider access than a spectator. It was addressed. I will not give further details because at this point it will become hearsay and that is really not my intent I have a true question and would like to really open this to what I feel is an important discussion. Do ALL employees of the EP (including those doing set up/break down who are basically just hanging out there during if they wish) do a background check to see if they have any predator or sexual offenses? I had always thought about the concern of people coming in to watch from the outside but never thought about the other. To me this is something that any USASF approved event should be required of all EPs. I don't expect that they know about every employee like those who work directly for the venue but all of their own employees and if say the subcontract out set up (I apologize for not knowing how this is done) like I said never even crossed my mind before.
