MemberJust to add to Jovana, and for all parents ensure the photocopies are of current criminal records check.
Safety conscious.Member"5) What has been the BC teachers postion now that government must fund ABA for all? Will they blanket permit our ABA therapists in the classes."
It's time that the school system realize that if they allow ABA in the schools less behavioral issues would happen and it is the only medically neccessary treatment. No matter how normal little Johnny or little Janey physically appear, it's the behaviour that needs the treatment ASAP.
MemberAs the volunteer co-ordinator for Abbotsford Special Olympics, I often have our new volunteers get a criminal record check. For volunteer positions the criminal record check is done immediately for $25. I don't know how long it takes for a crim. check for employment.

MemberI have had about five or six crimiinal record checks done over the years, for both volunteer and paid employment. Here's what I have learned if you go to a police detachment…..
– you have to go to the one in the city/municipality in which you live, unless it's the headquarters
– cost depends on whether it is RCMP or city police
-sometimes, checks for volunteer work are free, whereas paid employment has a fee
– they are never done immediately, and are forwarded to the employer after a few weeks, unless you go to the head detachment in Vancouver, where they will give you signed results immediately (this was for paid employment)But as far as I know, and have heard, you can't go to a different municipality, but Anon. in Abbotsford, thanks for the kind thought! None of this is written in stone, but just past experience from someone who's had many a record check!
MemberHello
To get a criminal records check I went to the Abbotsford police and they charged me $25.00 and it took less then 5 minutes, BUT I told them I was getting it done for vollunteer work. It is $60.00 for paid work.
Its worth the gas money to drive to Abbotsford and have it done for $25.00 and a little white lie ;)
Ask your local police department what it costs for vollunteer work, and it has never taken 2 weeks as far as I know.MemberSorry, I realized after I posted that I forgot to tell you what time the workshop is.
The workshop is from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

FacilitatorMemberHi Guy,
I am a therapist & have had to do a criminal record check before & it's pretty simple. All I had to do was go to my local police station & request to have it done. It costs $25-$30, not sure exactly how much it was but this cost was covered by the family I was working for at the time and if I remember correctly, only took a day.
Hope this helps!!MemberIt amazes me that MCFD is handing over funding to the
Community Living branch. Is there a difference?? These are medically disabled kids who DON'T NEED BABYSITTERS AKA RESPITE THEY NEED MEDICALLY NECCESSARY TREATMENT. I can't believe what I am reading. It amazes me.My opinion as always.
MemberCommunity Living has already taken over control of funding for autistic children in many communities. Families are being offered individual funding of behavioural services for their children by Community Living. Except for the title of the childs 'worker' these services are no different than what Community Living has been offering these children for the last decade.
