As Express Pardons explains in their blog, a vulnerable sector search is required for any individual that wants to work or volunteer with vulnerable populations.
Vulnerable populations include children, the elderly and the disabled. In order to work or volunteer with these groups of people a person must provide clearance for both a criminal record check and ab vulnerable sector search.
Anyone who is convicted of a sexual offence will be flagged in the vulnerable sector search database to prevent them from working with vulnerable people.
Even people who receive a pardon for their sexual offence conviction will remain in the vulnerable sector database.
