A very obvious gap is the fact that this report is not published and, therefore, parents cannot make informed choices. They operate on the assumption that the Child and Family Agency is on it and that the organisation is compliant. I would like to see a flag of some kind to say that a certain service provider has been inspected and that the report will not be published on the inference or directly that the service provider is undergoing enforcement action to ensure compliance with the Children First guidelines. If there is a difficulty with being specific, that is fine. Do not to be specific. However, Tusla should at least give parents the information in order that they know there may be an issue and can ask the service provider why the Tusla report on its last inspection is not available to them, as parents, to consult before making a choice to place their children with or have them retained by the provider's service.
