This is a reminder to all of our members who do not yet have a Vulnerable Persons Record Check (VPRC), please make arrangements to get one.
Rotary District 5370 membership is actively working to improve the lives of vulnerable persons in our communities. Youth, Seniors, Disabled persons all benefit from our Rotarians who work tirelessly to make their world a better place. We are proud of our membership and the hard work they do. Rotary International requires that all who work with vulnerable persons complete a Vulnerable Persons Record Check (VPRC) at their local Police station.
- VPRC is for all vulnerable persons, not just youth
- For all work with the Interact club, VPRC is required
- For any one-on-one activities, VPRC is required for rotarians as well as volunteers
- For public events without one-on-one interaction, VPRC is not required but still highly recommended for all Rotarians.
- Rotary's insurance will not cover you or our club if there is an incident and you do not have a valid record check.
- The record checks provide valuable reassurance to the organizations that we work with that our volunteers are reliable.
Once you have received your vulnerable persons record check from your local law agencyplease scan it and email it to securitychecks@rotary5370.org Your VPRC is confidentially viewed by our District Abuse Prevention Coordinator (DAPC) . Once your VPRC has been viewed you will be sent a certification letter from the District office to confirm your participation in this process.
In Edmonton the VPRC can be obtained at the police station at #108, 14315 -118 Ave. The process takes less than an hour and costs $15. Call me and request a volunteers letter which will allow the $15 rate. They are good for three years.
About half of our club has valid VPRC, so if you are one of the ones who don't have one, time to step up
