(1) In two situations, DSHS may find a person with convictions able to have unsupervised access to children:
(a) If the conviction for
any crime listed in WAC
388-06A-0180 occurred more than
five years ago; or
(b) If the
conviction was for a crime other than those listed in WAC
388-06A-0170 or
388-06A-0180.
(2) In both of these situations, DSHS must review your background to determine your character, suitability, and competence to have unsupervised access to children. In this review, DSHS must consider the following factors:

amount of time that has passed since you were convicted;
(b) The seriousness of the crime that led to
the conviction;
(c) The number and
types of other convictions in your background;
(d) Your age at the time of
conviction;
(e) Documentation
indicating you has successfully completed all court-ordered programs and
restitution;
(f) Your behavior
since the conviction; and
(g) The
vulnerability of those that would be under your care.
