Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

HIQA Report: Engagement with Tusla

2:00 pm

Mr. Fred McBride:

We will not, of course, get into the detail of the case but the point is absolutely valid. We are looking to train far more people in joint interviewing with the Garda. As training is provided by the Garda, it is not completely within our control but we are in discussions with the Garda about increasing the numbers of social workers we have trained in joint interviewing to prevent exactly what the Senator mentions, the over-interviewing of children.
