Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Engagement with Caranua

4:00 pm

Ms Mary Higgins:

Sorry, I am not sure of the protocol. It is our intention to diversify our offering for survivors. We will not just say we might be able to do things in our office and that is as much as we will do. We will be doing different things and are looking at how we might do that, in particular, going into the areas where people live and working with the services there because it is really important to remember that we are not a permanent fixture in their lives. We are a temporary thing so we need to be sure that we are not engaging or developing a dependency and we then go away and they are left wondering what happened and are let down again. We are looking at diversifying the range of options that are available to applicants and this is in our strategic plan.
