Ms Karen Feeney:

From our experience, it is about that collaboration between the local authority, those of us delivering services, social inclusion and Tusla, and each part of that committing a certain amount of resources. A big part of it is having workers that will follow individual client journeys. A big thing that happens to young people is that somebody says to them that they cannot do something with them until they fill out a form, and they are sent off to do it, but if they are not organised or are under stress, that will not happen. Sometimes, we really need people to hand-hold through that system so young people do not fall through.
