Once please take note that Garda Vetting is only one aspect of a safe recruitment procedure and should not replace good practice such as face to face interviews, verbal and written reference checks, identity verification and a robust code of good practice, child protection policy and a support and supervision process. In the case of a positive disclosure or specified information, however, forthcoming from the vetting procedure, the club/associated body needs to make a Risk Assessment regarding the applicant before assigning the individual to children's or vulnerable adult's activities in the club/associated body. The big question is, does the information you have received on the individual and confirmed by the applicant pose a risk that is too great to have the individual conducting work with children and vulnerable adults. The final decision is with the Risk Assessment Committee. Risk Assessment Committee Tennis Ireland has in place a Child Welfare Committee and part of its terms of reference is to deal with positive disclosures. Clubs/Associated Bodies also need to establish a decision making committee to assist with the recruitment of new potential volunteers and professionals and assess any risks that may be involved with the recruitment process. Part of the recruitment process is to request that all applicants provide the results of their Garda Vetting application they received from Tennis Ireland. Risk Assessment Committees should apply the recruitment process from the Tennis Ireland Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children in Tennis and employ a Natural Justice framework in dealing with any disclosures of convictions. So, Tennis Ireland look after the Garda Vetting part of the recruitment process while the Clubs/Associated Bodies deal with the identity proof, the reference seeking and the interview process of the applicants. Verifying the identity of an applicant One of the Club/Associated Bodies Officers listed on the Verification of Identification Form is responsible for making this check and each applicant needs to provide one original photo ID and 2 proofs of their current address in the form of two original utility bills. The club/associated body need to keep the records and the relevant club representative signs the form as required. The applicant submits the form along with the vetting application to Tennis Ireland Criminal Record Having a criminal record will not automatically exclude an individual from employment/volunteering unless they relate to the offences outlined in the heading below entitled "Circumstances for the Withdrawal of the offer to Work/Volunteer."
