What is Vetting?

Garda Vetting is conducted in respect of any person who is carrying out work or activity, a necessary and regular part of which consists mainly of the person having access to, or contact with, children or vulnerable persons. We will make such enquiries with An Garda Síochána or a Scheduled Organisation, as we deem necessary, to establish whether there is any criminal record or specified information relating to the applicant. We do not make decisions in respect of the suitability of an applicant for a position; this is the sole responsibility of the registered organisation.
