In the interest of safety for our participants, all coaches, assistant coaches and team managers for Rep teams, and all Head Coaches for House League and Select teams shall have a Vulnerable Sector Screening conducted by York Regional Police Services.
It is incumbent on the Newmarket Baseball Association to exercise due diligence by ensuring, to the extent that is reasonably possible, that our volunteers who work and interact directly with our registered participants do not pose a risk to our vulnerable members.

All coaches shall have a Vulnerable Sector Screening completed within sixty (60) days of his/her stated commitment to the Association.  Vulnerable Sector Screening is not required for parents assuming the coach’s role for incidental occasions as the result of vacations and illness.

The vulnerable sector screening was established to provide screening of individuals who intend on working or volunteering with the vulnerable sector. A vulnerable person is defined as a person who, because of their age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent are (a) in a position of dependence on others or (b) are otherwise at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by a person in a position or authority or trust relative to them. This type of screening is required for the following types of positions: teacher, social worker, taxi driver, day-care worker, adoptive parents, sport coaches, etc.

• Criminal record (adult and/or young offender, including summary offences)

• Outstanding charges

• Findings of not guilty by reason of mental disorder

• Probation, prohibition and other judicial orders which are in effect

• Convictions/pending charges under Child and Family Services Act

Details of incidents that York Regional Police believes may assist an agency in making an informed decision, including charges where no finding of guilt was made and incidents where no charges were laid.
