Criminal Record Check
All students upon entering a teacher education program at UBC Okanagan must submit to a Criminal Record Check through the Criminal Records Review Program.
Pursuant to changes to the Criminal Records Review Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c.86 which came into effect January 2008, the Faculty of Education must ensure that every registered student who will work with children undergoes a criminal record check and informs registered students of the requirements of the Act.
To standardize the criminal records review at UBC Okanagan, and to comply with the requirements of the Ministry of Public Safety, the Faculty of Education office will conduct the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP) with and on behalf of its students. This means that the Faculty will collect all of the criminal record review forms from its students and send them to the Ministry of Public Safety for review. In turn this will allow the Faculty to provide CRC management for all of its students during their programs and after program completion for a total of five years.
Further information is available in the Teacher Preparation Handbook.
