Screening as Safeguarding
Screening is not administrative — it is protective.
Positions of trust require structured, documented due diligence. A consistent screening process reduces liability, aligns with insurance expectations, strengthens governance accountability, and protects vulnerable individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What screening services does Plan to Protect® provide?
Do you provide screening for both organizations and individuals?
How do you determine what level of screening is needed?
Screening is based on the level of trust, authority, and risk associated with a role.
Volunteer, employee, clergy, and senior leadership positions do not all require the same depth of screening, so recommendations are tailored to the responsibilities of each role.
Do you offer Canadian Criminal Record Checks?
How much does screening cost?
Screening costs vary depending on the type of role, the number of individuals being screened, and the scope of support required.
Organizations receive a customized quote based on their screening needs.
