Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Legal and Policy Gaps in Adult Safeguarding: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Patricia Rickard-Clarke:

We have not yet received it. It was not just Safeguarding Ireland that asked but a number of stakeholders as a group. We were promised it before the end of 2023 and then before the end of 2024. We are now halfway through 2025. Again, it is all about education and training. People do not know what the guidance is. With GDPR, you need consent but there are certain circumstances in which you can share data to protect people. We need that guidance document and we need the regulation.
