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

Alternative Aftercare Services for Young Adults: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I will perhaps let Ms Murphy come back on that in a moment because I do not want to cut across the professional assessment piece. What I am saying is that, in general, if there is general agreement that a child needs an assessment of need in the broadest definition of that phrase and it is very clear that he or she cannot wait on the public list or for other availability, we will assist foster carers and children to secure that, but I would not say that is consistent in the way we would want it to be.
