In the Background

Ashley Oberholtzer here, author and narrator of In the Background. I encountered this crisis while working as a child welfare background check specialist. I feel responsible by association, to help the public understand background check policy in children’s services. Reform requires transparency. This website serves as an archive, housing my research on this issue so it is accessible.
