Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Strive

Ms Dearbhla Holohan:

It is a fantastic programme. It is very clear that there is significant need out there. We are doing training with youth workers across Northern Ireland on how to recognise how somebody is at risk of sexual exploitation. We have been funded by the education authority to do a piece of work. We can now train youth workers up to level 2, which means no matter where they are working, be it in a statutory or voluntary setting, they can recognise the signs. Ms Nolan does an awful lot of work with young people with the same issues. It is a common issue across the community divide.
