Vetting for Parishes & Primary Schools

 

E-Vetting speeds up the processing of applications as well as placing the onus and responsibility on the applicant to ensure their vetting application is completed. 

This is relevant only to vetting applicants who have an email address.   

  • All applicants with an email address should use E-Vetting Invitation Form NVB1
  • Upon completion of the form it must be signed and submitted to the Safeguarding Office, Wexford by the relevant School/Parish
  • An invitation email will be sent to the applicant containing a link which will enable them progress the application on-line
  • This link remains open for 30 days after which time it expires, and the process needs to restart from the beginning
  • If you do not receive an email, containing a link or there is an issue with the link, please call the Safeguarding Office on 053 9174972

For applicants between the ages of 16 & 18 years, E-Vetting Invitation Form NVB1 for under 18s and Parent/Guardian Consent Form NVB3 must be used.

 

If an applicant does not have an email address, Vetting Application Form NVB2 and the Diocesan Information Form must be used.
