Create is fully committed to safeguarding the well-being of all children, young people and vulnerable adults with whom we interact and to the development and implementation of policies and practices that protect them from harm (download Create’s Protection and Welfare Policy document below).

In 2008, Create registered with the Garda Central Vetting Unit to provide access to vetting in the arts. We promote best practice standards in this area and provide access to vetting for work in the arts - on a full-time, part-time, and voluntary or student placement basis - where it involves contact with children, young people or vulnerable adults.

We currently act on behalf of a large number of affiliated employers - arts organisations, venues, local arts offices, commissioning bodies and programmers, education and training providers, and artistic and creative producers. The service has recently been restructured and broadened to enable us to offer access to vetting for individual artists.

Our vetting service processes vetting applications, manages correspondence with the Garda Vetting Unit, provides certification of results, and offers ongoing support for the development of vetting policies and practices. We keep you up to date on important policy and legal issues and promote relevant networking and training opportunities.
