Monatóireacht na nGardaí

A number of programmes offered by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), especially in the areas of medicine, health, social work and education, require students to undertake placements that will bring them into contact with children or vulnerable adults and in which they will assume positions of trust. To ensure the protection of the public, and justify public trust and confidence, the HEIs are committed to ensuring that only suitable candidates are allowed to undertake these programmes.

The HEIs use the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) vetting service to assess the suitability of such applicants, and in some cases, may also require applicants to provide an enhanced disclosure by the completion of an affidavit. Therefore, offers on the following programmes are conditional and could subsequently be withdrawn if applicants do not meet the Garda Vetting requirements of the HEI.

This is not an exhaustive list. It is compiled from the information provided to CAO to date by the HEIs. Contact the appropriate HEI for further information.
