When aiming to work or volunteer with vulnerable populations in Canada, obtaining an RCMP Certified Vulnerable Sector Check is a pivotal requirement. This crucial step ensures that individuals in positions of trust or authority over vulnerable groups have undergone a thorough background verification. VS Fingerprinting Inc. specializes in providing expert fingerprinting services to facilitate this process, reinforcing the safety and well-being of vulnerable Canadians.
All You Need to Know About Vulnerable Sector Check
Vulnerable persons are individuals who are dependent on others or are at greater risk of harm by someone in a position of trust or authority due to their age, disability, or other circumstances.
It is specifically for individuals who want to work or volunteer with vulnerable people in Canada and hold a position of authority or trust. Even if an applicant has received a record suspension from the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the information is still collected. Non-conviction information may be released only if it meets the Exceptional Disclosure Assessment.
Purpose of Vulnerable Sector Check
It provides a comprehensive list of information about crimes, including convictions, outstanding warrants, charges, and judicial orders. This information can be found in the records management system of a local police agency and other permissible systems/records.
Exception Criteria
Generally, it is not required for individuals who have only casual or occasional contact with children/minors under 18 years of age or other vulnerable individuals, unless the nature of their position could lead the organization's clients to place trust in them.
