My concern is that Tusla will be asking the teaching community, youth workers or others to make assertions and judgments. If no clear terms of reference are offered to them, it is a big responsibility when they are also burdened by the work they are involved in. I am flagging that as opposed to questioning it at this point because it sounds like, based on those terms of reference, that it is a clarification of existence check as opposed to a welfare check, and that would be my concern.
