PRIVACY STATEMENT
Pursuant to the Federal Privacy Act (P.L. 93-579) and the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Civil Code
Sections 1798 et seq.), notice is given for the request of the Social Security Number (SSN) on this form.
The California Department of Justice uses a person’s SSN as an identifying number. The requested SSN is
voluntary. Failure to provide the SSN may delay the processing of this form and the criminal record check.
In order to be approved as a Resource Family, or to reside or be regularly present in the home of a
Resource Family, the law requires that you complete a criminal background check (Welfare and Institutions
Code section 309, 361.4, and 16519.5). The approval agency will create a file concerning your criminal
background check that will contain certain documents, including information that you provide. Personal
information, including criminal history information, collected in the course of completing your background
check will be included in a Written Report. The Written Report may be shared with any of the following: (1)
An applicant or a Resource Family with whom you are associated: (2) a placement agency or juvenile court
for the purpose of determining whether to place a child or nonminor dependent; (3) any approval agency
to which the Resource Family’s approval is subsequently transferred or by which the Resource Family is
subsequently approved; (4) as otherwise required by law. You have the right to access certain records
containing your personal information maintained by the approval agency (Civil Code section 1798 et seq.).
Under the California Public Records Act, the approval agency may have to provide copies of some of the
records in the file to members of the public who ask for them, including newspaper and television reporters.
