WHAT IS A VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECK?

A vulnerable sector check is a type of criminal background check required for many jobs and volunteer positions where people will be in positions of “trust or authority” over vulnerable populations such as children, people with disabilities, or the elderly. It is a combination of a regular police record check of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) national databases of criminal offences, combined with a check of local police records in the place where an applicant lives, and a check to see if an applicant has ever received a record suspension or pardon for sexual offences in Canada.
