Muaythai Ontario is committed to a safe sporting environment to protect all participants in Muaythai programming, activities, and events. The new Screening Policy, effective immediately, will require an annual Enhanced Police Information Check (E-PIC) through our new Screening Partner, Sterling Talent Solutions. Those over a certain age will require a Vulnerable Sector Check before getting the E-PIC.

Seconds (Coaches & Corners) and Officials should note the new changes to the Membership Process. To get started, follow our questionnaire below to determine what kind of check you need. FAQs are at the bottom of this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see this link to learn more about why a Vulnerable Sector Verification is necessary for those above a certain age.

The submission of both the E-PIC and Vulnerable Sector Verification is subject to the same data processing guidelines as all other membership information. The completed checks must be submitted at latest 48 hours prior to an event; if a Check is submitted within 2 – 5 business days prior to an event, a rush fee will be required in order to process the information on time. It’s important to note that if there is an item of concern on a VSV or E-PIC it could take Muaythai Ontario’s Screening Committee up to 30 days to review.

The Screening Policy details all information about the screening process.

Sterling Talent Solutions is Muaythai Canada and Muaythai Ontario’s background Screening Partner, the same organization that is utilized by the Coaching Association of Canada. Sterling allows MTO’s members to easily submit online background checks for a low fee of $25 + tax. An E-PIC is an Enhanced Police Information Check that searches both the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records (CRC), and Local Police Information (LPI) within multiple databanks. For more information about the E-PIC click here.

Also known as ‘Vulnerable Sector Check’ or ‘Police Vulnerable Sector Check’. A vulnerable sector verification is an enhanced criminal background check often required from people in positions of authority that work with children and vulnerable persons. This includes teachers, medical professionals, or sport organization members. For more information about this check, click here.

The new Screening Policy is mandatory for all Seconds (Coaches and Corners) and Officials participating at Muaythai Ontario events and programs. Those without a valid Check on file will be unable to participate in programs, activities, or events sanctioned by Muaythai Ontario.

Muaythai Ontario will additionally be requiring E-PIC and Vulnerable Sector Verification from:

  • MTO Board members;
  • MTO Staff members;
  • MTO Volunteers;
  • All individuals involved with the delivery of sporting programs including camps, clinics, seminars, etc; and
  • Any other person in a role that constitutes a position of trust or authority.

Yes. Background screening is valid for 12 months from the date the check was completed.

No. MTO only requires a Vulnerable Sector Verification done once for those who were born on or before February 28, 1986. Once a Vulnerable Sector Verification is submitted and cleared, it will be valid for 12 months from when it was dated – after which you will only require an annual Enhanced Police Information Check (E-PIC).
