The Probation Act and Teaching.

    I received the Probation Act 6 years ago when I was in my early 20's for the possession of a small quantity of drugs. The Probation Act itself is not a criminal conviction, however the incident remains on record and will rear its ugly head under the Garda Vetting process. As I'm considering applying to do the PDE next year, I contacted the Teaching Council about this issue and they informed me that there was no problem with me qualifying as a teacher, but that information regarding the incident would be made available to prospective future employers. Will employers discriminate on this basis? Anybody out there been in a similar situation or have an insight to whether or not I'm wasting my time doing the PDE?

    It won't look good unfortunately - you'll have to teach an element of the sphe curriculum which is about substance abuse & potential employers surely wouldn't look kindly on your record. Especially in a time when competition for jobs is so fierce.
