📣📣Garda Vetting/Tusla Registration Renewal Process
Garda Vetting is a legal requirement for all people working with children and vulnerable adults, under the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012-2016 including staff of Early Learning and Care and School Age Services.
Garda vetting for each staff member must be renewed every three years. It is a breach of regulation for staff to continue working with children where their vetting has expired.
There is a new Garda Vetting process in place for ELC/SAC services since 1st February 2025. The following now applies:
• TUSLA manage Garda Vetting services for registered providers, including childminders, as well as Chairpersons of Boards of Management (where they are the registered provider) and board members who have access to children.
• Early Childhood Ireland (ECI) manage Garda Vetting services for all employees in ELC and SAC services.
• Barnardos no longer provide vetting services.
