POLICE VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECK (MUST BE VALID ANNUALLY) (FOR FIRST YEAR C146 STUDENTS)

• In compliance with the requirements of our placement partners, all students in this program are required to have a police vulnerable sector check completed, and this check must be renewed annually before entering into field or clinical placement.
• The police vulnerable sector check process typically takes two to three months, but under some circumstances can take four to eight months. This is required to protect the clientele of our placement partner agencies, who are considered "vulnerable persons" under the law.
• Students are responsible for ensuring that the police vulnerable sector check covers appropriateness for "individuals being employed and/or volunteering who will be working with vulnerable person(s)."
• Students are required to keep the original copy of their police vulnerable sector check.
• Students who are unable to provide a "clear" police vulnerable sector check may not be able to start their field or clinical placement and therefore may be unable to complete the program. Students who are not eligible to attend their practice placement due to a "not clear" status will jeopardize their progress in the program.
• Failure to meet the requirements for field placement will prevent students from completing the program and/or securing employment.
