    Hi, I'm new to this forum and wondering if my base school is responsible for garda vetting? They have my details and the other school does not, so just wondering if it is sufficient for the base school to have it? Also can the other clustered school (only there 4 hours per week) request an update on my vetting before the base school? I've been working in both schools for 3 years and am vetted under the old system. Surely the other school simply comes in under the sort of umbrella whereby I'm vetted and they are in charge of same, many thanks in advance

    Your base school is your employer
    It is up to them to furnish details to the other schools, if requested

    you only need to worry about new vetting system if you switch to a new job
    I don't know what was wrong with the previous system, but I'm sure the teaching council have increased their bureaucracy and caused the issue

    If you are a teacher you apply through the teaching council website form for garda vetting and you furnish it to the school.
    Other staff, sna's and ancillary staff are vetted though the school's patron body.
    Schools have to seek the new vetting for all new staff members. Ideally the other school in your cluster would have already seen your vetting as you were working there before the new garda vetting arrangements came in. Unfortunately they may not have asked to see it then and are now obliged to do so.
    Existing staff who have never been vetted are to complete vetting process by end of 2017.
    Personally if I was you I would just process my vetting through teaching council now just to have it. Maybe the cluster hours have changed and new paperwork is going to the dept, who knows. But once you have it they can't use it as an excuse not to employ you.
    It is an offense for school's to employ any new staff without the new garda vetting.

    I don't know how they are going to monitor that
