Garda / Police Vetting is a pre-requisite for attending placement on certain programmes of study at DkIT. In these cases the students must adhere fully to the Garda Vetting process. Approval from DkIT to attend placement is subject to outcome of the Garda Vetting process.

Issues that impact on Garda Vetting include:

• Any minors (students under the age of 18) must get their Parent/Guardian to complete the official Consent form for the minor to be vetted

• Any student who has lived outside Ireland from 16 years of age must receive Police Vetting from the named country of residence. It is the students own responsibility to liaise directly with the Embassy of that country and follow their identified procedures. Copies of this Police Vetting must be submitted to the Placement/Allocations Office prior to attending placement. The use of a Sworn Affidavit may be accepted for those students in exceptional circumstance who are unable to provide police vetting for their previous countries of residence.
