PrintVulnerable Sector Check (VSC) Instructions

Why am I asked to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check?

Ontario Soccer requires that all individuals with access to vulnerable people undergo a Police Vulnerable Sector Check   The Chatsworth Soccer Club recognizes that it is critical to ensure a safe and secure environment for all players registered with the Club.  

ALL Chatsworth Soccer team's rostered staff (Coaches/Assistant Coaches/Managers) on all teams are REQUIRED to have a valid Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) on file with the Club.  

Do you have an existing valid Vulnerable Sector Check?

If you have a recently completed VSC done in the last 3 years because of a school volunteer or other sport (hockey, baseball, etc.) you can submit that to meet the requirement.  If you have an existing PDF copy of results, you can navigate directly to the upload form on this website.  VSC Copy Submission
