Background Checking Ireland
In Ireland, in order to ensure that volunteers are safe to work with young people, Garda Vetting of volunteers is required.

The CoderDojo Foundation is now piloting Garda Vetting (January 2015) for Irish Dojos and will be sharing all processes and documents publicly in the near future. In the meantime if you are interested in having your Dojo's volunteers vetted through the CoderDojo Foundation then please feel free to email us at info@coderdojo.com.

The CoderDojo Foundation also plans to offer Child Protection Training to Dojo volunteers in the near future. In order to avail of this training all participants will need to be vetted through the CoderDojo Foundation.

An alternative is to arrange for Garda Vetting and Child Protection training thropugh a local youth organisation such a Foroige, GAA, local volunteer or Youth Work Ireland centre as many Dojos have in the past.

If you have any questions on this please feel free to email then please feel free to email us at info@coderdojo.com.
