Garda Vetting
From 1st February 2025, Tusla commenced providing the Garda Vetting Application Service for anyone who is a Registered Provider of an early year’s service (under part VIIA of the Child Care Act 1991, as amended) or anyone who is planning to submit an application to become a Registered Provider. In order to apply for Garda Vetting for the purpose of registration you will need to access the Tusla Garda Vetting portal. If you have a Portal account linked with a Childminding application, your profile username and password will work for Garda Vetting. If you have any other type of Portal account, you will need to create a new profile for the purposes of applying for Garda Vetting.
Tusla have a dedicated Garda Vetting section on their website and have developed a guidance document and an infographic to support Registered Providers and Childminders through the process of applying for Garda Vetting.
