Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Independent and Adequate Standard of Living and Social Protection - Safeguarding: Discussion

Ms Sinéad McGarry:

It is population-based. It is a long-standing problem. There have been multiple media reports highlighting that it has reduced social work ability to review the plans that have come in from safeguarding services. It may very well be residential services but we do not have a breakdown of that. It is a well-known and well-documented problem. This matter goes back to the point that if we continue just to identify problems and not respond, the problems are not going to go away.
