Ms Jackie Finney:

In temporary support accommodation, there are staff. They are not called child support workers but there are staff there who support the families. They are conscious to link in with educational supports. They are based within the facilities, which are funded under section 10. There is also a nurse dedicated to supporting families in homelessness. The nurse links into the supported accommodation facilities and those in private emergency accommodation to connect people with the health services that are required by a family, including children. Families as a whole, including children, receive support, but there is no dedicated child support worker, as such.
