Teaching council garda vetting form

neutralvu

Anyone here that has got back a garda vetting RESULTS letter from the teaching counicil can u tell me in PM or here what exactly it says on the letter? The only part im interested in is the exact wording in the middle part of the letter where they talk about what the GCVU said.

Off the top of my head it usually says something very bland. They never commit themselves to anything major.

I got one back recently from sports organisation it was a big long letter saying nothing

Pataman

All it says are there are currently no prosecutions or recorded convictions for .......at this time

I would be more interested in someone who has got one back this month or last. As the vetting process has changed. I enquire because mine came back different to my friends but my friends is from last year. His said the same as what you are saying pataman.

How has the process changed?

There's a new declaration to sign on it, that's all. It's on the teaching council website.

Just as an aside to this...since my 'cost neutral' pension is so small, I'm keeping up the TC registration to be able to do contract work for the SEC.

I am interested in some once-off visits to schools as part of a possible source of income and since I was never Garda vetted while teaching, I wanted to get it done now, so that everything was sorted. I asked them about it and apparently once I am registered I am considered Garda vetted too? How odd.

correct theres a new declaration to sign but that "is not all" why was this declaration changed? Because the way it was it was affecting so many people that had minor discrepancies in court and under the European constitution for human rights these minor prosecutions are not allowed to show up in vetting.

I think that if you were to change school as a teacher then you will need to get it done but i would have said you would need to get it done anyway. Imagine being asked by a parent or principal while in the school have you been vetted and you say no... I dont think it would be a welcome you would get.

Just to re focus the thread anyone who has received back their vetting form lately please inform me via Private message or here what it says under what the GCVU have disclosed.

That is very odd. Is it a recent change? Seems very suspect, as in it seems to subvert the intention of the regulation.

You weren't vetted when you started teaching? I got vetted three years ago through the teaching council, voluntarily.

No. I started teaching in 1984. They said they would deal with the backlog when it came in, but from what I could see none of the 'oldies' were vetted.

Ahh I suspect Spurious started a 'wee bit' before the teaching council was ever thought of!:pac::pac::pac:

Anyhow I think there was a derogation for such teachers, although the vetting doesn;t seem to take account of Lazaruses such as Spurious who is neither NQT nor currently in service...


Who must be Garda vetted?

Newly Qualified Teachers
*for admission to the Register of Teachers
*for securing employment as a teacher

Teachers currently in service
*Garda vetting is a requirement of the Department of Education and Skills if you are a teacher who is changing school or returning from a career break.

I wasn't vetted either (started teaching in 2001). I think anyone that was teaching when the TC was established was automatically registered as a teacher and considered cleared in terms of Garda vetting.
