A Vulnerable Sector Screening at HHS refers to a more thorough background check. This is required for potential employees or volunteers who will be working in positions where they have significant trust or authority over vulnerable individuals, like children, older adults or those with disabilities.  

We will conduct a criminal record check, which will include details about convictions related to sexual offences and other relevant information from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). If necessary, applicants will be instructed by HHS to obtain a Vulnerable Sector Check through their local police service.
