NWTC is required to comply with the Wisconsin Caregiver
Law (1997 WISCONSIN ACT 27). The completion of a caregiver
background check includes the review of criminal records for
convictions of serious crimes or a history of improper
behavior. Students accepted into this program must
complete a background check through
www.castlebranch.com AND complete a Background
Information Disclosure (BID) form disclosing any acts, crimes,
or convictions prior to program entry. The information
provided in the BID form must be truthful and match any
ndings on the criminal record check. Information regarding
this process is provided to students immediately upon
acceptance into the program. Students with a criminal
history may be denied access to placement at the discretion
of the clinical or practicum site. Consequently, should a
student have a history of convictions of serious crimes or a
history of improper behaviors, NWTC cannot guarantee
clinical/practicum placement or guarantee graduation within
typical program timing.
