IGG Screening Process (including Garda Vetting)
Garda Vetting for the Youth Work Sector was formally introduced for new staff and volunteers in September 2006. It is part of the Youth Work sector’s commitment to best practice and is a clear example of the sector’s efforts to protect young people. IGG spent time putting the appropriate systems and procedures in place in order to deal with this and Garda Vetting was introduced as part of IGG’s screening process on the 1 st September 2007.
IGG’s screening process which includes Garda Vetting has been put in place, not because of lack of trust with individuals, but rather to protect the children in our care. Vetting can help us to build on the relationships of trust we already have with the young people we provide services for, their parents and our fellow workers, either volunteers or paid. It can assist us in delivering higher standards in our recruitment and selection procedures.
Adults wishing to become Leaders or Unit Helpers (including someone on parents’ Rota) with the Irish Girl Guides must complete the IGG's screening process .
