Garda Vetting is a requirement for membership with CranioSacral Ireland, in line with the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016.
This legislation mandates that all therapists working with children or vulnerable persons must undergo Garda Vetting. CranioSacral Ireland is the only body authorised to process Garda Vetting for Craniosacral Therapists in Ireland.
Who is Defined Under the Act?
Purpose of Garda Vetting
The purpose of Garda Vetting is to identify any convictions or relevant information held on record by An Garda Síochána that may affect a person’s suitability to work with children or vulnerable adults. Garda Vetting is only conducted for persons applying to work with, or through, registered organisations — not individuals on a personal basis.
Vetting Process Through CranioSacral Ireland
CranioSacral Ireland uses the Garda eVetting system. Once Garda Vetting is purchased through the shop of your membership account, the process takes place in two steps:
Step 1 – Garda Vetting Invitation (NVB1 Form)
After purchase, you will receive an email with the NVB1 form attached. Please print and complete this form and post it, together with copies of your photo ID and proof of address. Instructions will be included and must be followed carefully to ensure a smooth application process.
Step 2 – Online e-Vetting Application
Once your NVB1 form is processed, you will receive an email from evetting.donotreply@garda.ie inviting you to complete your e-Vetting application online. The link is valid for 30 days.
If your link expires, a new one can be requested through the Shop for a fee of €15 (as charged by the National Vetting Bureau).
