Non-Act

Non Act vetting is Garda Vetting conducted on behalf of organisations registered with this unit, outside of the framework set down in the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016. In general, this type of vetting (Non Act) is conducted in accordance with statute other than the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016. It follows the same process as vetting conducted in accordance with the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016, except in respect of specified information which shall not be disclosed in respect of Non Act applications. The relevant organisation through which you are seeking vetting will be in a position to establish for you whether your vetting is subject to National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016 or not.

Non Act vetting also differs from Act vetting in respect of the legislation governing certain convictions not required to be self disclosed. All self disclosures in respect of Non Act Vetting should be in accordance with either Section 10 or 11 of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions & Certain Disclosures) Act 2016, dependent on the position applied for. The relevant organisation through which you are seeking vetting will be in a position to establish for you which section has relevance to your application.
