    Hi, I'm applying for a teaching vacancy in a vec. I noticed on the notes they give with the application form to enclose a Garda Vetting form from the Teaching Council. I have got one but weary that they might not return it? I could photocopy it but the original has a special silver mark on it? any advice? thanks

    Hi,
    I always just send a copy and never had a problem.

    I sent an original reference (as requested once) and they ruined it on me, put their big red VEC stamp bang in the middle of the page so never send originals since then!!

    Thanks for the advice. I thought they might be picky! I might need it for other teaching jobs. I can't be waiting around for them to send it back.

    That's fairly annoying about the reference. Typical you go to so much work to get in the first place and then its ruined.

    Always send a copy, if they want the original they will come back and ask for it.

    I got a job in a VEC and they wanted my actual degree parchment, I wasn't allowed to photocopy it. I dropped it in, in a cardboard tube rolled up to keep it nice.
    THEY FOLDED IT and sent it back in an ordinary envelope through the post, got ruined obviously aside from the fold line through the middle of it.
    Pure ignorance

    Bring it to school, photocopy it and get the secretary to stamp it (as saw the origingal). This was recommended to me last year and had no issues

    Edit: Ignore-misread op!
