How to Get a Police Reference Check to Volunteer

All TDSB volunteers are required to complete a Police Reference Check. You need a Police Reference Check to:

  • Go on a field trip
  • Volunteer in the classroom
  • Help out with Parent Council events (pizza days, bake sales, etc.)

If You Have Previously Submitted a Police Reference Check to a TDSB School

If you have completed a Police Reference Check in previous years and submitted it to the school office (either as a hard copy or by email), you do NOT need to complete a new Police Reference Check.

Instead, you must complete the: "2025-2026 Annual Offense Declaration Form" (we don't have an updated form yet, you can just update the date).

This form confirms that you have not had any convictions since your last Police Reference Check.

Please submit the completed form by:

  • Dropping it off at the school office, OR

  • Emailing it to: PoliceReferenceCheckOffice@tdsb.on.ca and CC'ing 

If You Have Never Completed a Police Reference Check

1. Click on "Register for an Adult Police Record Check Apply Here"

2. Register for a new account.

3. Once registered and logged in, scroll down to "Vulnerable Sector Check" select "$26.72 - Volunteer (you receive NO monetary compensation)". 

4. Complete the form using the following information:

  • *Position: Volunteer at the school
  • *VSC Organization Code: 202309TPSOND7EFC
  • *Vulnerable Clientele Duties: Going on field trips, volunteering at school events, and other school activities with children ages 3–14
  • *List which vulnerable sectors you will be working with (list all that apply): Children
5.  Check the confirmation box.

6. Click "Submit and Continue >>>"

7. Continue completing the form, make the $26.72 payment, and submit the form. 

Important Information

  • It takes about 8 weeks to receive the Police Reference Check back via email. 
  • Once you receive it, submit it to the school office and PoliceReferenceCheckOffice@tdsb.on.ca
  • You only have 90 days to download your Police Reference Check after receiving the email. Be sure to download and save a copy for your records.
