If you're a self-employed artist who works with children in Ireland, you've probably had to go through Garda vetting at some point. In fact, it's likely that you're having to go through it over and over again, and you're wondering why.

I've written a blog that tries to explain how it all works.

I have probed deep into the murky, mysterious fog of Garda Vetting and have returned with knowledge. Look on my Admin Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

No, seriously. I wrote a blog that tries to explain #GardaVetting – the background checks carried out by Ireland's police force – from the point of view of artists doing children's events.
