    Hi everyone,

    Sorry if I'm asking a reperated question, but I've lived in Dubai for 9 months as a teacher. I left my contract and did not get a Police Clearance Certificate.

    I havre applied for Garda Vetting through the Teaching Council, but am wondering if they will ask for clearance from Dubai, thereby holding up the whole process until I get one.

    Has anyone been in a similar situation? On the vetting website it says you must provide it if you lived anywhere else for 3 years or over, but nothing about anything else.

    Really worried I wont get a number for MONTHS, and therefore cannot sub....please someone help me :(
    Thanks

    Once you have applied for Garda vetting you will get paid, with the clause being that if anything wrong is uncovered any contract with the school is null and void.

    Ok, thats great, but can I still get a temporary number so that I can get a job, and how long does that take if so.

    Thanks for your reply though, eases my worries, its had enough to get jobs without additional issues :)

    As a matter of interest, does anyone know are there figures on how many do not get cleared by the Gardai?
    Is this hugely time wasteful scheme catching bagloads of pervs all headed into teaching?

    Im sure most people wouldnt apply for a teaching job if they had a criminal record involving children/ young adults.

    (But then when you look at Ian Huntley who had previous accusations in two separate locations and still slipped through the net in England to become school janitor, and then went on to murder 2 girls....it is there for a reason)

    I think that there should be special conditions for people who require it for jobs esp teaching, so it can be approved faster. I mean I dont even know if any schools will take me on even for a days subbing because I dont have a teaching council registration number.

    Most applications for teachers get approved ( I was told by a garda) It's ones for immigration or HSE job purposes that might not be approved due to prior criminal offences, not even relating to children, for example, drunk and disorderly, and drug offences.
