As part of your yearly CLRG Registration, you must verify that your “Vetting Reference Number” and “Vetting Completion Date” are accurate. If vetting is completed any time during the registration year, it is the registrant’s responsibility to access the registration portal and update their information accordingly.

Please note that many countries have an identity verification procedure built into their vetting application system.  To support applicant queries regarding these procedures, several ID verifiers (or Delegated Officers as referred to in Ireland), have been selected to work for CLRG.

You can find the full list of these officers and their specific country/system HERE.

If you have a query regarding the vetting process, please contact the member of the vetting team responsible for your region or country as shown in the sections listed below. We ask that you include the following information when you email to ensure all queries are dealt with in an efficient manner:

1. Full Name
2. Contact Phone Number
3. Status within CLRG (TMRF, TCRG, ADCRG, BG, SDCRG, Teacher Assistant, Regional Council Layperson, etc.)

Before contacting your designated vetting officer, we would like to draw your attention to the following points related to the subject of Child Protection:

• Regarding all approved Child Protection Training Certificates, where attendance has been within the previous 5 years, these are deemed to be current for the period of 5 years from that date.
• The primary managers of Child Protection Training certificates are the Regional Designated Liaison Persons which are listed below for your convenience.

IMPORTANT:  Many countries have an identity verification procedure built into their vetting application system.  To enable applicants to get this done, several ID verifiers or Delegated Officers [as referred to in Ireland], have been selected to work for CLRG.  A list of these, and their parent country / systems, is shown HERE.
