Acxiom Website Instructions - step by step instructions.

In June 2000, USA Hockey granted affiliate status to Carolina Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) to govern ice hockey in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina.  As a condition of our affiliation with USA Hockey, CAHA is required to adopt and maintain a background screening program for all individuals with routine access to children (anyone under the age of minority.)  To accomplish this requirement, CAHA performed random background screenings on coaches as screening all required individuals in a single season was cost prohibitive. 

Due to the increased awareness of the necessity to attain a 100 percent clearance rate and to address issues with the sensitivity of obtaining and archiving Social Security Numbers, the CAHA Board of Directors revised the policies and procedures for background screenings.  In 2007, CAHA contracted with Acxiom Information Security Services (Acxiom) to process all background screenings.  Effective for the 2008-2009 season, all volunteers/employees of youth associations such as but not limited to coaches, trainers, and team managers, are required to use the Acxiom secure self-service website to complete the background screening requirement.  The background screening will strictly look at criminal records which would prohibit someone from participating in “Child Care” per the screening criteria.  Financial records and traffic incidents are not part of the screening.  

Applicants will set up an account on the Acxiom secure website, enter the required information and pay via major credit card at the time of the request.  A final report is forwarded to CAHA with the Social Security Number masked.  The standard fee is $22.05; however, additional cost may be incurred based on a state or country of search.  If additional fees apply, the applicant will be notified by Acxiom and will be required to authorize payment prior to the release of a final report.  The background screening is not complete until the final report is forwarded to CAHA.  All background screenings are valid for three (3) years and all individuals who require screening must do so within 30 days of beginning any “on-ice” or “off-ice” hockey related activity. 

While CAHA regrets passing the cost of the background screening to the applicant, we do feel it is a small price to pay to ensure the safety of our youth participants.  Thank you for your assistance and support of the CAHA Screening Program.
