If your church members or people involved in running activities associated with your church are likely to come into contact with children or vulnerable adults, it is essential they are vetted by the National Vetting Bureau.
The National Vetting Bureau, is conducted by An Garda Síochána on behalf of registered organisations only, and is not conducted for individual persons on a personal basis. It provides access to criminal records and other relevant information to organisations in the Republic of Ireland. The results of the checks carried out help organisations make more informed decisions when recruiting people to work with children and vulnerable persons.
If an organisation requests a vetting check, the individual concerned must be told why the check is taking place and where they can get independent advice.
