Information on criminal record checks

The University of Victoria is required to adhere to the BC Criminal Records Review Act.

The Act states: “An educational institution must ensure that every registered student who will work with children or work with vulnerable adults undergoes a criminal record check.”
 All students who reside in BC and/or plan to complete a field education placement in BC will be required to undergo a Criminal Record Check through the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. This Criminal Record Check is required even if you have had a recent check completed for some other purpose. A criminal record may delay or prohibit certain placements.

Field Education Outside of BC:

If you do not reside in BC and do not intend to complete a placement in this province, you may not be required to complete the process above. You will, however, have to meet any individual agency or provincial requirements regarding criminal record checks. Again, students are encouraged to begin this process early.

Field education injury insurance

All field education students at UVic are covered by injury insurance and if injured during their placement must immediately complete an injury report and submit this to their Faculty Liaison. 

For student's whose placement is in Ontario they must complete a WSIB Form 6

For students in BC or a jurisdiction other than Ontario they must complete WorksafeBC Form 7
