Guidance on vetting requirements in Early Years Services

The Early Years Inspectorate has worked together with Early Childhood Ireland, and with the assistance of Barnardos,  to develop a series of short guidance documents to support Registered Providers and others involved in the governance of services to understand and meet the requirements in relation to vetting of new and existing members of staff. 

Most of the documents relate to Garda Vetting requirements and there are additional documents covering Police Vetting, reference letters and management structures in Early Years Services. 

The documents can either be accessed individually or as one booklet with all documents collated together. 

You can access a range of additional support and guidance materials from our Early Years Provider Resources page
