Child Protection Update
New legislation regarding Gárda Vetting has recently come into force so those with on-going contact with children, in the field of leisure or sport (paid or voluntary), other than those who assist ‘occasionally’ or in the event of a family or personal relationship, must be vetted. The procedures have been simplified but are no less strict so check it out here.
