Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Alternative Aftercare Services for Young Adults: Discussion

Ms Karen Feeney:

There is often case management around complex cases. We do in-reach to prisons. Sometimes, if people have to wait for a bed through us, they may have to spend time in an emergency service. The short answer to the Deputy's question is "Yes" but given the current climate and how much pressure there is, we can see the realities of rough sleeping among young people are beginning to increase. There is a very different climate out there.
