Vulnerable Sector Checks (VSC) are unavailable to third party companies and can only be provided from the police. The additional information a VSC can provide includes;

• In very exceptional cases, where it meets the exceptional disclosure, non-conviction including, but not limited to, withdrawn and dismissed.
• Not criminally responsible by reason for mental disorder.
• All records suspensions as authorized for release by the Minister of Public Safety.

If your candidate may fall into any of the above cases, and you want to run a Vulnerable Sector Check in Ontario or which ever province you live in, please request a VSC from your nearest police station.

Vulnerable Sector screening services provide in-depth background information on applicants who will be working or volunteering with vulnerable people, in areas including:

• Teaching
• Social work
• Daycare services
• Sports Groups

Each report gives you detailed information about applicants, covering:

• Criminal convictions from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and/or local databases
• Summary convictions for five years, when identified
• Findings of Guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act within the applicable disclosure period
• Outstanding entries, such as charges, probation, and warrants

An Enhanced Criminal Record Check (CPIC + PIP) is equivalent to a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) in that it can provide all the necessary information needed to evaluate a candidate who are in positions of trust, authority over children and vulnerable persons. An Enhanced Criminal Record Check is includes a standard criminal record check (CPIC) as well as:

• Outstanding entries, such as charges and warrants, judicial orders, peace bonds, probation and prohibition orders.
• As per CPIC policy, information obtained from the Investigative Databank must be confirmed and authorized for release by the contributing agency.
• Absolute and conditional discharges for 1 or 3 years, respectively.
• Negative police contacts including but not limited to theft, weapons, sex offences, or violent, harmful and threatening behaviour.

Another advantage of an Enhanced Criminal Record Check is that we can provide the results of your completed check  within 15 minutes to 1 hour upon request. While ordering from a police station can take anywhere from 3 days to 2 months, our simple process is able to provide you the quickest turnaround possible.

Once complete, the results of the report will be securely delivered to you directly online.
