Vetting

Garda Vetting is one of a range of safeguards put in place by the Capuchin Province of Ireland to help protect children and vulnerable adults. It is a legal requirement for everyone working with children and vulnerable adults to be vetted before they commence work and to be re- vetted every five years.

It is our policy that all friars, employees working with children and vulnerable adults and some external contractors be vetted as part of the recruitment process. It is also Franciscan policy that all volunteers who work directly with children or vulnerable adults be vetted prior to commencing work.
