A VSC is a Vulnerable Sector Check. It's a police background check for people who work with vulnerable people — like the residents you'll be caring for. Your local police service carries it out.
It brings together three checks: your criminal record, any local police records about you, and a check against a list of people barred from working with vulnerable groups.
Everyone who works in nursing or support work in Ontario needs one — it's a legal requirement, not a Florence rule. Yours must be less than 6 months old when you join.
You apply through your local police service. If you're in Toronto (an "M" postal code), you can apply online yourself at tps.to/police-checks, using Florence's agency code — 202309TPSON1FE43. If you live somewhere else, get in touch anyway and we'll point you to the right place to apply.
