A review into the handling of complaints of sexual abuse at the voluntary first aid organisation St John Ambulance has found its garda vetting system is incomplete creating the potential for unvetted individuals to gain access to children, RTÉ Investigates has learned. The independent investigation – which was carried out by the former child protection rapporteur and recently nominated Circuit Court judge Dr Geoffrey Shannon – also concludes St John Ambulance does not have a finalised child protection policy.
