Safety Resources

Your clearance is valid with SVLL for no more than 3 seasons. The Safety Officer may request an updated clearance to ensure a high safety standard for the League.

Get them to the Safety Officer for filing and receipt reimbursement.

Your clearance is filed with the Safety Officer, and is made available only to the President, if needed.

eCRC results are typically completed within 2 weeks.

If the eCRC was performed within the last 3 years and is of the same type, you can share your clearance with SVLL by using the Access Code. If the clearance is older than 3 years, a new clearance is needed. Apply for the eCRC with the usual link, after confirming identity you can select an option to share a previous check with another organization.

The eCRC shows the maximum time the clearance can be considered effective for any use. SVLL requires clearances on a more frequent basis.

The eCRC program relies on a credit check to verify identity, and some circumstances such as limited credit history or having recently moved may require a manual verification of identity. The form provided can be used to have your ID verified by any member of the SVLL executive for you to fax in to the program.

Yes. BackCheck clearances do not meet minimum standards for clearances and a check with the provincial eCRC, VPD or RCMP is required.

Most work record checks do not require a vulnerable sector check. Unless the check shows a “vulnerable sector check” was performed, it cannot be used.

No. Clearances cannot be done for youth under 18 and the League considers these waived.

A clearance needs to be received and on file by no later than May 1 of the current season. If this is the first time SVLL has requested a clearance and you have not yet received it (allowing for the 2-4 week processing time) proof of applying (online reference number or fee receipt) may be sufficient to allow coaching. All others without confirmation or clearance will be removed from coaching.

No. If a clearance was requested and not submitted, the League cannot permit you to coach until a clearance is on file. A receipt for the clearance in this case is not sufficient.

The President and Safety Officer will follow up with the volunteer to understand the circumstances and may bring it to the league executive for an in-camera decision on eligibility to coach. This may result in a one year waiver with an annual clearance to continue coaching, or denying eligibility to volunteer with the League. If the offence involves youth, Little League International prevents anyone from coaching without a waiver from Little League.
