State child protection agency examining ‘increased risk’ to children and teenagers in its care
On foot of the study, Ms Duggan is to outline how the agency is “conducting an internal review of the reporting and process management of concerns regarding child sexual exploitation”.
Ms Duggan is due to appear before the Oireachtas committee on children, along with Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman and officials from his department. Tusla is currently facing huge pressures from an increase in reports of abuse or neglect of children, a shortage of foster and residential placements for children taken into care, and a lack of social workers, Ms Duggan will say in her opening statement.
