397. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if he envisages a more volunteer and business-friendly vetting system that could be adopted whilst maintaining the optimum level of protection for children, given that the current requirement on persons to obtain multiple vetting is proving highly impractical; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The vetting system does not come under the remit of my Department. It is more appropriate to the Department of Justice and Equality, who have responsibility for the relevant legislation, namely the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Adults) Act 2012.
