Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Child Protection and Family Support: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Ms Kate Duggan:

For us, it is obviously investment in fostering services. The financial supports that are offered to foster carers are certainly a consideration. For members of the Travelling community, there is still the stigma. We have had a number of open days and learning events, getting foster families who might be interested in fostering coming together. I think it is just going to take a bit longer. It is linked in.

Ms Jordan might give the Deputy some insight into the Values Lab report.
