GARDA VETTING IN GLENANNE HOCKEY CLUB
 

Please note that regular volunteers / coaches need to familiarise themselves with the Glenanne Hockey Club list of policies as listed here and should complete and submit the Sports Leaders' self-declaration form available here
 

 
 

Who needs to submit a garda vetting form? 
 

Any 16-year-old or older who regularly interact with junior members, whether paid or on a voluntary basis. 
 

Please note that those who have occasional contact (‘now and then’ or ‘a once off event’ such as giving lifts, tournament/team assistants etc) come under the ‘occasional’ usage term and do not need to complete a vetting check.
 

 
How do I submit my garda vetting form?
 

1. Download, print and complete this form including signing and dating it.
 

If the person being vetted is 16 or 17 years of age (i.e. a minor) then the parent also completes this form
 

There is no longer a different form if you have been previously vetted by any other Hockey Ireland Club.

2. Email the completed form to childrensofficer@glenannehockeyclub.com along with copies of your documentation. 
 

3. CCO will validate your identity by checking two forms of identification as listed on the form. In the event the CCO is not available you will be given an alternative committee member contact to validate your identity and they will send the form on to the CCO. 
 

4. The CCO then sends it to Hockey Ireland.
 

5. You will receive an invitation by email from the Garda Vetting Bureau to complete the process. You must complete this within the time limit given to you.
 

6. When submitted, the Garda Vetting bureau will email you with the disclosure. Please then forward this to childrensofficer@glenannehockeyclub.com 
 

 
 

Common errors to watch for.
 

Do not send your form directly to Hockey Ireland. It will be ignored. All Garda Vetting must be processed at club level.
 

 
 

Ensure that you sign, date and tick the declaration box. 
 

 
 

You must include a valid Hockey Ireland ME number.
 

 
 

It is imperative that you respond to the email invitation from the Garda Vetting Bureau in a timely fashion. It does expire and then the whole process has to begin again with a new form with new date.
 

 

If working / volunteering with Glenanne Hockey Club, we must submit our own garda vetting for you. Vetting for other organisations, clubs including other Leinster Hockey clubs or sports are not valid.
 

Please ensure you submit Garda Vetting every 3 years.
