CATEGORY: CRIMINAL RECORD DISCLOSURE
The Board believes that criminal record checks for all
prospective and/or new employees and volunteers will help ensure the safety of
students.
1. Criminal record disclosure is required for all persons 18 years of age and over who have the opportunity to be in direct and regular contact with the students in the schools or on school property.
2. Information obtained during the
criminal record disclosure will be held in the strictest confidence.
1. Information obtained will not necessarily exclude the candidate from employment or being a volunteer.
2. If the information on file with the
police is disputed, the candidate may be requested to submit to fingerprinting
in order to determine whether or not he/she has been convicted of an offence
that could affect the decision to hire.
The fingerprints taken and the criminal record or clearance, will be
returned to the candidate. It will be
the decision of the candidate to provide this information to the Superintendent
or designee in a timely manner. Should
the candidate not choose to undergo the fingerprinting process, no further
consideration will be given to the application.
3. The candidate will be given every
opportunity to discuss any information obtained through the disclosure, and the
final decision to approve or deny employment or being a volunteer will be made
after careful consideration of all factors.
4.
The candidate has the final responsibility for
deciding whether to proceed with his/her application
on the basis of having a criminal and/or driving record disclosure completed.
5. The original criminal record check must be presented to Aspen View Schools. A photocopy will then be made for our records and the original returned to the owner.
