FAQ: Who should be screened and trained under Plan to Protect®?
A: Plan to Protect® believes is it is better to screen than not to screen. The steps of recruiting and screening we recommend include: a six month waiting period, a position description, an application, an interview, reference checks, Criminal Record Checks, and Training. This chart will be a helpful guide on who to do a Criminal Record Check on.

Blog: Let's Talk
Hi everyone, my name is Victoria and I'm the Director of Training at Plan to Protect®...Today, I really wanted to open up and share a little bit more about myself. Social media gives you a window into someone's life. You can spend so much time listening to someone, hearing about their life or seeing photos of them that you think you know them. Feel like you're friends.
But...social networking sites are a curated glimpse at someone's life. It's a small piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole.
Perhaps you've heard me on our webinars; or chatted with me over the phone or via email; or maybe we've even met at exhibit or conference. You probably would have no idea that I really struggle with an anxiety disorder.

We now have our own private-labeled, third party Enhanced Criminal Record Checks. The web application facilitates the ordering, processing, and delivery of Canadian searches in real-time, securely, accurately, and with confidence. Our new platform comes highly recommended:

They have filled a desperate need in the market place and worked tirelessly on behalf of their clients to provide the best strategies and resources for keeping kids and staff safe. Plan to Protect® is continuously researching the best solutions possible for their client, and they have concluded that the ScreeningCanada platform is the right partner for Plan to Protect® going forward. This platform provides the very latest technology to facilitate the best possible enhanced criminal record checks, identification verification and customer support. Plan to Protect® has worked with ScreeningCanada to design functionality that works for Plan to Protect® clients.

~ Dave Dinesen, (Founder, and past president and CEO, BackCheck) ~
Our process supports Canadian Privacy legislation, Data Protection Laws and Human Rights that vary considerably from other countries, and may be different from province to province.
This decision has been made after much consideration and research and in consultation with Canada's leading experts in third party Criminal Record Checks. For us it came down to finding a solution to provide you much better customer service with the same savings as you have had in the past with Plan to Protect® for both staff members and volunteers.

Are people with mental health
considered vulnerable?
According to the World Health Organization, "People with mental and psycho social disabilities are a vulnerable group as a result of the way they are treated by society. They are subjected to stigma and discrimination on a daily basis, and they experience extremely high rates of physical and sexual victimization. Frequently, people with mental disabilities encounter restrictions in the exercise of their political and civil rights, and in their ability to participate in public affairs. They also are restricted in their ability to access essential health and social care, including emergency relief services. Most people with mental disabilities face disproportionate barriers in attending school and finding employment. As a result of all these factors, people with mental disability are much more likely to experience disability and die prematurely, compared with the general population."
