Any group participating in WGI events is required to obtain a national criminal background check (or some satisfactory equivalent for country or locale) for any adult instructional and managerial staff having regular contact with or authority over participants.
Such background checks shall be performed at the discretion of the participating group’s director, but in no event less than every two years.
For scholastic groups, those requirements can be fulfilled by requirements imposed by the school district/educational institution; however, if a school district/educational institution does not have a requirement for such background checks, the participating group must comply with this WGI requirement.
WGI has recently teamed up with OneSource. OneSource provides quick, compliant and affordable background screening and are willing to set up accounts for individual groups or marching arts circuits.
