- Published: 26 September 2011
As a result of recent queries to the IPPN Support Office in relation to Garda vetting, Statutory Declaration and the 'Form of Undertaking' as part of recruitment procedures, we wish to draw your attention to Circular 63/2010 which became a requirement for school authorities on the 1st January 2011.
The main elements of this circular are:
Thorough recruitment procedures must always be followed and are an essential element of Child Protection practice. Vetting does not take the place of recruitment procedures, but is to be used as part of those procedures

E-scéal 273 - Update on Redeployment Panel
- Published: 27 May 2011
Principals are once again finding themselves in a difficult and stressful situation in the third term as they try to deal with recruitment.Attached is the latest update from the DES in relation to Redeployment Panels. There is still much uncertainty over what will happen when a diocesan panel clears. The DES yesterday told a number of teachers, who will qualify for the Supplementary Panel, that these will not be published until all main redeployment panels are cleared. This new update seems to say that schools who fully co-operate with the redeployment process may be given priority to commence further recruitment?
Further updates will follow on June 3rd with decisions on June 10th in relation to other methods of appointment.
