The Football Association of Ireland is set to host a series of webinars to support the roll out of an updated Garda Vetting procedure, following notification from the Garda National Vetting Bureau.

Aimed at clubs and leagues from all levels of the game, the FAI Garda Vetting Liaison Persons will host 15 sessions over five days between Monday, June 30 to Friday, July 4.

The webinars will go through key information for those submitting applications and it is strongly recommended that relevant club and league personnel attend one of these sessions to ensure applications are compliant with the updated requirements.

Garda Vetting legislation is key to ensuring the protection of children and vulnerable persons within the game. No relevant club or league can operate without Garda Vetting Legislation compliance and the FAI takes a zero-tolerance approach to any breaches.

To facilitate the new and necessary changes, the FAI’s Garda Vetting application portals will be unavailable from Friday, June 27 until Tuesday, July 1.

The FAI is encouraging any applicants to make note of this offline period to avoid disruption to any applications.
