* To enhance protection of children and mentally incapacitated persons from sexual abuse, the Hong Kong Police

Conviction Record Check (SCRC) scheme with effect from 1 December 2011. Schools are strongly advised to
adopt the scheme and request their prospective employees seeking child-related work or work relating to mentally
incapacitated persons to undergo SCRC. As the SCRC scheme does not cover overseas sexual conviction record,
given the importance of protecting our students, you are highly recommended to provide certificate of no sexual

Details of the SCRC scheme are available at the Hong Kong Police Force website at
