Vetting

Any person who carries out a role of responsibility such as coaching, managing or training underage teams or indeed adult teams that contain any player under 18 yrs. of age must be vetted.  The National Vetting Bureau Act places a statutory obligation upon Ballyea GAA Club to ensure that all persons who undertake work with our children have been vetted prior to taking up that role.  It is really important that all mentors who have not yet been vetted email our Children’s Officer eganh@live.ie to have the process started.
