What is a Vulnerable Sector’s Screening Check?
This is a check to screen individuals who intend on working or volunteering with persons who are dependent on others and there is a greater risk of harm than the general population.
A copy is to be provided to you by the Respite contractor.
It should have been completed and dated within the last six months. If not, you have the right to request that an up to date check be completed.
It is completed by the Ontario Provincial Police and generally takes 6-8 weeks.
If you are unclear about information on the Vulnerable Sector’s Check, please see the website: www.opp.ca, or call the toll free telephone number: 1-888-310-1122.
Please note: a Vulnerable Sector’s Screening check is a more thorough check and is not the same as a Criminal Reference Check.
