Sec. 86.4  Policy.

    It is Department of Defense policy to:
    (a) Establish a standardized and comprehensive process for screening 
applicants for positions involving child care services on DoD 
installations and in DoD activities.
    (b) Provide fair, impartial, and equitable treatment before an 
individual may be deemed suitable to serve as an employee, a certified 
care provider, a specified volunteer position, or as an individual 
employed under contract in activities covered by this part, 32 CFR part 
310, Federal Personnel Manual (FPM), 32 CFR part 154, DoD Directive 
6400.1, DoD Instruction 6060.2, DoD Instruction 6400.2, DoD Directive 
1400.13, 32 CFR part 68, DoD Directive 6025.11, DoD Directive 1015.1, 
and 32 CFR part 212 by conducting a thorough review of all appropriate 
records as described in this part.
    (c) Protect children by denying or removing from employment, 
contract, or volunteer status any applicant or current employee who is 
determined unsuitable to provide child care services because derogatory 
information is contained in a suitability investigation.
    (d) Ensure than an individual is advised of proposed disciplinary 
action, decertification, or refusal to hire by the hiring authority or 
designee if disqualifying derogatory information is contained in a 
suitability investigation. The individual is given the opportunity to 
challenge the accuracy and completeness of reported information.
    (e) Foster cooperation among the DoD Components, other Federal 
Agencies, State and county agencies, and other civilian authorities in 
conducting criminal history background checks.
