Criminal Background Checks/Offence Declarations
Regulation 521/01 Safe Schools Act requires that all employees upon hire provide a satisfactory Criminal Background Check that includes a vulnerable sector screening. The background check must be current (within 6 months of hire date).

The Act also requires an Offence Declaration be made each year. An Offence Declaration is a means of informing the Board of any convictions that may have occurred since the original background check was submitted. You will be notified each May via the Board’s e-mail system regarding completion of the declaration. Offence Declarations are done electronically through Our Training Room.
