Figures from 12 March 2018 show that of the total 29,481 teachers who were issued with notices to apply for retrospective vetting:
- 28,466 have fully complied with the vetting requirement.
- 330 have not yet fully complied despite repeated contact

Retrospective Vetting Next Steps
- The 28 day final notice letters will issue this week to those teachers who have not complied with the retrospective vetting request
- The Paymasters (DES and ETBs) will be informed allowing them to follow up with those who may be in their employment
- Teachers who fail to comply within the timeframe will be removed from the register which we anticipate to be around mid-April
