Ms Siobhan Greene:

The research we are talking about is research on the new parental advocacy and information service. There are so many needs and issues in relation to parents of children in care that we could do research that would be endless. The research we are talking about focuses very much on parents of children in care and the advocacy and information service. If the issue raised by the Deputy is highlighted as a frequent issue, it will be captured in the research, but I just do not know how many of those parents we will come across yet. As we have said, we are at a very early stage of the research. I do not know if colleagues have a sense of whether it is a really prominent issue that is likely to be included in the research. At this stage, we do not know. As Ms McCarthy has said, we will be gathering information on the profile of parents, their needs, how the system is meeting their needs and some of the system changes that are needed. If it is an issue that is coming up frequently, it will certainly be captured in that regard.
