  Requirements: Individuals in a Level 1 role will: 
1. Complete and provide a Screening Disclosure Form (Appendix 2) 
2. Participate in training, orientation, and/or monitoring as required (Appendix 1)

For individuals in a Level 3 – High Risk role, a VSC only ever needs to be completed once, and thereafter a CRJMC or EPIC will be required when the next screening is due in 3 years. Any returning Level 3 volunteer with a clear VSC in the past is also only required to obtain a CRJMC or EPIC. Coaches should submit requirements to their Association, but can track/submit their status to OBA via their onDeck App and are encouraged to do so.

Acceptable Types of Police Record Checks:
“CRJMC” – Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check - Free
“EPIC” – Enhanced Police Information Check 
“VSC” – Vulnerable Sector Check - Free
Note: A Criminal Record Check (“CRC”) will not satisfy the Record Check requirement described in the policy. An EPIC is available online from Sterling Backcheck. Baseball Ontario has joined the Coaching Association of Canada’s Responsible Coaching Movement and therefore has access to an EPIC at a discounted rate. Individuals can obtain an EPIC via https://ondeck.baseballontario.com/my-account/certs (login required; choose Sterling from Available Certifications).
