Donegal Volunteer Centre In conjunction with Donegal South Forum will be holding an information session on Garda Vetting in the Inver Community Centre on Tuesday the 17th of September at 7.30pm. John Curran the Manager of Donegal Volunteer Centre and the Garda Vetting Authorised Signatory for Co Donegal stated “the Garda Vetting Bill that has being considered by the Oireachtas will once enacted, have a considerable impact on how the community sector engages with young people and vulnerable adults. Now is the time for groups to prepare the ground work to ensure that their services are not impacted when vetting becomes mandatory”. The aim of the session will be to clarify the process, procedures and indeed myths around Garda Vetting.
The Donegal Volunteer Centre processes in excess of three hundred Garda Vetting applications annually and works with groups in establishing the policies and procedures to ensure that both the groups and the volunteers are supported through the vetting process.
The Garda Vetting session will be one of a range of activities hosted across Donegal to support volunteers, which aim to support and acknowledge volunteers across Donegal.
