Vulnerable Sector Check

All West End Hockey League volunteers must have a valid Vulnerable Sector Check, which can be obtained online with the Ottawa Police. Volunteers must show proof of completion to the WEHL VP Risk and Safety and are responsible for renewing their Vulnerable Sector Check every three years.

 

How to Apply for a Vulnerable Sector Check:

  1. Obtain a volunteer police check letter from the WEHL VP of Risk & Safety.  With this letter, the fees for a PCR are waived.
  2. Go to the Ottawa Police Record Check website to create an account and/or login.
  3. Complete the application process. To verify your identifications, the system will ask you for some personal information such as date and place of birth, your SIN number, banking information, etc.
  4. Once your verified, upload a PDF of the volunteer letter that was provided by the VP of Risk & Safety (step 1).
  5. Upon completion, email a copy of your completed Vulnerable Sector Check (or Police Records Check) to the WEHL VP of Risk & Safety
  6. Repeat every three years upon expiry.

 

What if I don't pass the online process?

If for some reason further identification is requested by the Ottawa Police, you may be asked to visit their Queensview location to verify your identity. If you are required to provide fingerprints, please email the WEHL VP of Risk & Safety to obtain an additional letter that will allow you to waive the fingerprinting fee.
