Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC)
A Requirement for Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC)
Who Needs a Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC)?
Any active volunteer of APMHA requires a completed PVSC. In the context of APMHA minor hockey, an active volunteer refers to anyone who has volunteered for a position that puts them in direct contact with players. This includes coaches, assistants, trainers, on-ice volunteers and managers. If you are unsure if your current PVSC is valid, please contact Director of Risk and Discipline.
How Frequently are PVSCs Required?
PVSCs are valide for 3 years.
How are PVSCs Obtained?
PVSCs are performed by Ontario Provinvcial Police Services and are free for all volunteers. In order to prove an individual's association with the APMHA, a volunteer letter is provided the the association.
The steps required to obtain a PVSC are:
- ​Obtain an APMHA Volunteer Letter by requesting it from the Director of Risk and Discipline Letter
- Visit an OPP Station (click here to access the OPP detatchment finder) and present the complete form (online form available here) and the volunteer letter from the association (along with a piece of photo ID)
- Vulnerable sector checks are also available online by clicking here
- Receive the PVSC results by mail (note: they may take several weeks to arrive)
- Present a copy of the completed check to the Director of Risk and Discipline or the APMHA Registrar
****please note - PVSC's are usually in high demand in the fall so complete as early as possible
