Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Health Information and Quality Authority

Ms Mary Dunnion:

We do not have formal interactions beyond statutory interactions which centre on Garda vetting. Using the investigation as an example, we networked with the An Garda Síochána and the dual relationship was very productive. We do not, however, have any reporting relationship with it, except if we come across something such as a major safeguarding issue or financial abuse. In such cases we make referrals to the Garda, but there is no formal process in place.
