Sexual Conviction Record Check – Hong Kong

https://www.police.gov.hk/info/doc/scrc/Notes_to_Employers_en.pdf

The Sexual Conviction Record Check (SCRC) is an administrative scheme to enable employers of persons undertaking child-related work and work relating to mentally incapacitated persons (MIPs) to check whether eligible applicants have any criminal conviction records against a specified list of sexual offences at Appendix. This scheme serves to help employers assess the suitability of eligible applicants for child or MIP-related work and afford better protection to children and MIPs from sexual abuse. Nevertheless, the scheme cannot take the place of prudent employment practice and proper parental supervision.

An employer should not demand his employee to apply for the SCRC if the usual duties of the applicant do not involve child or MIP-related work. Any person who seeks to abuse the scheme may be liable under Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486, Laws of Hong Kong).
