Review of Barnahus Model for Young People who have Experienced Child Sexual Abuse: Discussion

Ms Helen Shortt:

Forensic is used in the context of the examination of children within the Barnahus or, as we currently do not have a Barnahus in the east, within Children's Health Ireland, CHI, on the basis of being able to gather evidence for the criminal justice process. The child is examined and if there is any physical evidence, it can be collected.
