WHAT IS ACCESS NI?
Access NI is a system for the disclosure of an individual’s criminal history. It has been established by the Northern Ireland Office as a result of the introduction in NI of Part V of the police Act 1997. It replaces the Protection of Children & Vulnerable Adults NI Order (POCVA NI) service that was provided by the Department of Health, Social Services & Public Safety (DHSSPS). It provides access to criminal history information to individuals and, in certain circumstances, to organisations who are recruiting to sensitive positions. Typically this will involve working with children or vulnerable adults.
It is important to note that the vetting process is one component part of normal recruitment and selection process and is used in conjunction with the other components referred to in the “Code of Ethics & Good Practice for Youth Sport in Irish Gymnastics” – recruitment guidelines http://www.irishgymnastics.ie/ethics/ethics.cfm
