Ms ?ine Lynch:

We work with many different groups. Sometimes it can be very hard for us to access parents and children directly. In that case, we would reach out to different groups. We have limits to what we do. We are not involved in delivery or linking up of therapeutic services. We reach out to groups as a way of reaching out to parents and young people. We also do this to inform when we are speaking on behalf of parents to Government, the Department or other stakeholders. We want to ensure we are hearing directly from those parents and are not guessing what they feel or think and that we include their voice authentically in the consultations we do.
