No. A standard Police Information Check and a Vulnerable Sector Check are not the same type of screening. Vulnerable sector screening involves additional searches and is generally requested for qualifying positions involving trust or authority over children or other vulnerable people. If an employer, volunteer organization or licensing body requires vulnerable sector screening, confirm that requirement before ordering your check.
