Vulnerable Sector Queries

At the request of the organization and with the authorization of the applicant, a Vulnerable Sector screening search for Pardoned Sexual offenders is conducted. This search is specifically for individuals who will be employed or volunteering in a position that requires direct contact with children, seniors and vulnerable adults, such as teachers, social workers, taxi drivers, day-care workers, adoptive parents, etc.

Cautionary Note

No screening process is foolproof. Matches on information are based on name and personal identifiers and not by fingerprint comparison. False indentification or legal name changes may conceal pertinent information.

Roles and Responsibilities

It is essential that the agencies and the Rama Police Service agree to, and understand, their respective roles and responsibilities in the screening process.

  • Understand the implications of the Human Rights Colde as it applies to hiring. There should be a clear view of the types of information that may constitute a "bonafide" reason for refusing to hire an applicant or volunteer.
  • Advise each applicant/volunteer that the prosence of information provided by the Rama Police Service does not necessarily mean a disqualification from the position sought.
  • Guarantee that the applications for screening will be made only for the purposes of determining the suitability of an applicant or volunteer for a position within the group or organization.
