Mr. Jim Gibson:

Deputy Jan O'Sullivan raised an issue in regard to a member of another organisation escalating a concern to us because they were unsure or unhappy or wanted to flag their serious reservations about a plan agreed by the Child and Family Agency in respect of a child protection matter. As I said earlier, there are different levels of interaction and liaison between team leader and liaison sergeant, between area manager and superintendents and in regard to Mr. McBride, Mr. Quinlan and I attending the national liaison group meeting. However, I give the Deputy an assurance that if a superintendent rang me, as has happened on occasions when Detective Superintendent Daly has flagged situations he felt were of concern, we would immediately review and engage with the area social work team regarding that case.
