hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me? The plasterboard will be fixed using the dot and dab method. For internal moisture do i require a vcl barrier? Or does the foil facing insulation within the cavity have a intergated vapor barrier inner face

No need for an internal VCL, in this case.
 
How do you stop internal water vapour damaging the permeable blockwork?
