The Diana Screen® and Sexual Misconduct Risk Management
Insurance is designed to pay for losses which may occur that are too expensive for an organization to cover out of their own reserves. The impact from one misconduct loss could surpass the amount that an insurer is willing to cover. Misconduct losses are expensive. The direct financial claim filed by the victim's lawyer could be in the millions. (As of 2006, the Roman Catholic Church has paid out $2.6 billion in misconduct claims). The operating expenses in handling a misconduct claim add to the overall financial loss. The good name of an organization may be tarnished impacting future programs and revenues. In addition, depending on the size and number of claims made by a location, it may lose - as some local organizations have - all misconduct coverage.
As a risk management tool, The Diana Screen® accomplishes the following:
1. It identifies the men and women who are the most likely to commit a misconduct loss. This means that the likelihood of a loss occurring is directly reduced commensurate with the number of high-risk people an organization excludes during its screening process.
2. In many cases, one individual is responsible for abuse-based losses on multiple children. Each high-risk person who is removed, not only reduces the likelihood of one loss occurring, but reduces the likelihood of multiple losses occurring.
3. The use of The Diana Screen® acts as a deterrent. When applicants are aware that an organization is utilizing this additional child protection tool, some will choose not to apply.
Misconduct losses are based on the actions of a few people. The Diana Screen® helps to identify the men and women who are a sexual risk to children. Currently there is no other effective way of identifying high risk men and women. Organizations that use The Diana Screen® demonstrate their commitment to trying to achieve the standard set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for all Youth Serving Organizations: "Goal: To select the best possible people for staff and volunteer positions and to screen out individuals who have sexually abused youth or are at risk to abuse."

WHAT IS
|
WHAT WE BELIEVEThe people at Abel Screening are dedicated to protecting children. We believe every parent should know that their children have the greatest sexual abuse protection possible when they are cared for by others away from home. THE DIANA SCREEN®, by screening out prospective volunteers and employees who present a sexual risk, improves the child's sexual safety by an estimated 70%. For 20 years Abel Screening has been developing cutting-edge technology to keep children safe. THE DIANA SCREEN® is our sixth test. It is a breakthrough in technology - 18 years in the making - that gives child care groups a way to add more sexual protection to children than has ever been possible. Gene G. Abel, M.D., president of Abel Screening, Inc., is an internationally recognized pioneer in the sexual protection of children. The federal government has awarded him six long-term National Institute of Mental Health grants to study the prevention of child molestation. Dr. Abel has published 150 scientific articles in medical journals and criminal justice books and on the Attorney General's Department of Justice website. Now, those findings are being put to a practical use. As we work with religious and secular groups to protect the children in their care, it's important to us to form a partnership. As we work with you to protect children, we will support you with the greatest respect for your organization. We will provide the highest quality in scientific technology and immediate customer service. Together we can establish a new era in child safety. |
