Tusla have published a new Regulatory Notice on Garda Vetting (CSR-RN14.3) which consolidates and replaces four previous notices into a single updated document.
The notice reinforces that Garda Vetting must be completed before any individual begins working with children, outlines requirements for vetting renewals and international police clearances, and reminds providers of their responsibility to review and risk assess any vetting disclosures.
Please find information below for early learning and childcare service providers from the Garda Vetting Bureau in relation to changes to Garda Vetting processing times to meet European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) requirements. This information should be taken into consideration in relation to any upcoming recruitment.
Important changes to the Garda Vetting procedure for the Early Learning and Care (ELC) and School Aged Childcare (SAC) sector are coming in February 2025.
A new Garda Vetting system has been designed to strengthen and streamline compliance processes to improve efficiencies for everyone. The updates will affect how employers, childminders, and employees apply for or renew their Garda Vetting applications.
