Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Update on Homelessness: Discussion

Ms Louise Bayliss:

To be honest, we do not have enough research to say which is working out best. Visiting support is fine if it is good and adequate. As I said, one of the things we recognise as important is that children do not just get the support in the accommodation because they are always fearful of somebody listening in or whatever. Our child support workers find that doing the work in a school, in a neutral space where the children feel safe, is a great outcome.
