Two pieces of legislation have put the vetting requirements for teachers on a statutory basis. Under the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016, the National Vetting Bureau (the Bureau) has been established and has replaced the Garda Central Vetting Unit. The Bureau is responsible for issuing vetting disclosures under the Act’s statutory arrangements. The Teaching Council Acts 2001 to 2015 established the Teaching Council as the relevant statutory organisation for the vetting of teachers in Ireland. Section 12 of the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016 requires that a school authority must not, other than where certain exemptions apply (which are set out at section 5.3 of Department of Education and Skills Circular 0031/2016 ), commence the employment (whether under contract of employment or otherwise) of an employee to undertake relevant work or activities before the school authority receives a vetting disclosure from the Bureau in respect of that person. This requirement applies in respect of all types of appointment of any duration including full time, part time and substitute positions. Failure by an employer to comply with this statutory requirement will be a criminal offence. Section 7(2)(ba) of the Teaching Council Acts, 2001 to 2015 allows the Teaching Council to obtain or receive vetting disclosures for the purpose of its role as a relevant organisation, i.e., for registration or Fitness to Teach purposes, or for the purpose of its role as a relevant organisation representing another relevant organisation, i.e., school employers, for the purposes of the vetting procedures under the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016.

Is le dhá phíosa reachtaíochta a cuireadh na ceanglais um ghrinnfhiosrúchán do mhúinteoirí ar bhonn reachtúil. Faoi na hAchtanna um an mBiúró Náisiúnta Grinnfhiosrúcháin (Leanaí agus Daoine Soghonta) 2012 go 2016, bunaíodh an Biúró Náisiúnta Grinnfhiosrúcháin (an Biúró) agus tháinig sé san ionad ar Láraonad Grinnfhiosrúcháin an Gharda Síochána. Tá an Biúró freagrach as nochtuithe grinnfhiosrúcháin a eisiúint faoi shocruithe reachtúla na n-Achtanna. Leis na hAchtanna um Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta 2001 go 2015 bunaíodh an Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta mar eagraíocht reachtúil ábhartha do ghrinnfhiosrúchán múinteoirí in Éirinn. Le hAlt 12 de na hAchtanna um an mBiúró Náisiúnta Grinnfhiosrúcháin (Leanaí agus Daoine Soghonta) 2012 go 2016 ceanglaítear ar údarás scoile, ach amháin más rud é go bhfuil feidhm le díolúintí áirithe (a leagtar amach i roinn 5.3 de Imlitir 0031/2016 na Roinne Oideachais agus Scileanna ), gan tús a chur le fostaí a fhostú (cibé faoi chonradh fostaíochta nó ar shlí eile) chun obair nó gníomhaíochtaí ábhartha a dhéanamh sula bhfaigheann an t-údarás scoile nochtadh grinnfhiosrúcháin ón mBiúró i dtaca leis an duine sin. Tá feidhm leis an gceanglas seo i dtaca le gach cineál ceapacháin d’fhad ar bith lena n-áirítear poist lánaimseartha, páirtaimseartha agus ionadaíochta. Is cion coiriúil a bheidh ann d’fhostóir gan an ceanglas reachtúil seo a chomhlíonadh. Le hAlt 7(2)(b) de na hAchtanna um Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta, 2001 go 2015 ceadaítear don Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta nochtuithe grinnfhiosrúcháin a fháil nó a ghlacadh chun críche a róil mar eagraíocht ábhartha, i.e., do chúiseanna clárúcháin nó Feidhmiúlachta chun Múineadh, nó chun críche a róil mar eagraíocht ábhartha atá mar ionadaí ag eagraíocht ábhartha eile, i.e., fostóirí scoile, chun críche na nósanna imeachta grinnfhiosrúcháin faoi na hAchtanna um an mBiúró Náisiúnta Grinnfhiosrúcháin (Leanaí agus Daoine Soghonta) 2012 go 2016.
