The Ottawa South United S.A has adopted the (OSA) Volunteer Screening Policy.
The full details of the OSU Employee/Volunteer Background Checks Procedure
are outlined in this section under Background Checks Procedure.

It is the policy of The Ottawa South United S.A that every reasonable effort
will be taken under the Ontario Soccer Association (OSA) Volunteer Screening Policy to exclude from program responsibilities, (not to be confused with parental responsibilities affecting their own children), any individual with a documented history of child molestation or other criminal record, that would bring unnecessary risk to the health and safety of Ontario Soccer Association program participants.
It is the intent of the Ottawa South United S.A to exclude from participation, at a
minimum, all persons who have been convicted of crimes against persons.

Ottawa South United S.A will comply with all Ontario Soccer Association guidelines and procedures. Ottawa South United S.A has placed as a condition of participation, the requirement of all Volunteers to complete a Police Check Form as well as the Club
Volunteer Application form every three years. Only persons who comply with these conditions shall be allowed to participate in Ottawa South United S.A affiliated events.

In this regard, volunteer is defined as any person who at anytime could be expected, in the performance of their duties, to be alone with any registered player for any length of time. This includes coaches, assistant coaches, and trainers who are appointed or selected in any manner or hired to coach at any level within Ottawa South United S.A.
