I agree ... mine is a couple years old now too and the only reason it is that new is because CAS paid to have one done on both my spouse and me in order for a client to place a child in the midst of 'adoption' into my program and because the child was technically a CAS ward all adults who care for CAS clients must have police check and vulnerable screening check done - they gave me a copy of them.

A police check is only good if the person has been CAUGHT doing something wrong, charged and found guilty of it so there is a 'record' .... they are basically only good at preventing 'convicted' people from getting a job and well even then only if they have not MOVED to a different jurisdiction!

So if a client really wants a 'current' one I would tell them that I am more than willing to undergo another one however because I already paid to have the one done at the start of my business that any additional ones would be on THEIR DIME .... my willingness to have one done shows that I have nothing to hide and well if they want to PAY for it so be it and if they do not want to pay for it than IMO they do not really VALUE it either
