Background Checks for Teachers, EAs & ECEs
Working in a school or childcare setting means a vulnerable sector check. SekCheck clears teachers, education assistants, early childhood educators and school volunteers fast — RCMP-accredited, open Mon–Sat in Surrey (Sundays by appointment).
Who needs a check in education
Anyone in a position of trust over students needs a vulnerable sector check under BC’s Criminal Records Review Act. That includes certified teachers and TTOCs registering with the Teacher Regulation Branch, education assistants hired by districts, early childhood educators getting certified, tutors and coaches, and parent volunteers or field-trip chaperones.
It’s a recurring requirement — new hires every term and volunteers each year — and we handle it quickly so you’re cleared before the school year starts.
