Vulnerable Sector Checks
The centralization of all Vulnerable Sector Checks will be conducted by the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) through the OHF Screening Policy for all Team Officials and Team Personnel.
The following individuals who are associated with the OHF, Members, hockey leagues, hockey Clubs and/or Associations must adhere to the OHF Screening Policy and submit to the Ontario Hockey Federation:
- Team officials (including but not limited to head coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, manager)
- On-ice officials
- Off Ice Volunteers (including but not limited to dressing room supervisors)
- Skills Coaches & Third Party Coaches
- Staff and Board Members
- Anyone else who, through their duties on behalf of the OHF, a member, a hockey Club or Association, may work with children
This process ensures that all screening is being done and reduces the number of screening where individuals are changing Associations or participating in multiple Associations. It adds to the safety of game to ensure players are not around vulnerable individuals.
