TrustLine is a service created by the California Legislature to offer parents, employment agencies, Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, and child care providers access to a background check conducted by:

• California Department of Social Services (CDSS)
• California Criminal History System
• Child Abuse Central Index at the Department of Justice (DOJ)
• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Why is TrustLine important?

TrustLine is designed to help protect children from abuse. By having your child's care giver cleared throughTrustLine, you may find out information the caregiver failed to reveal when you interviewed him or her. This information may protect your child from suffering injuries or abuse at the hands of a known felon.

• Individuals who provide care in your home
  
• Caregivers exempt from licensing
