Ms Caroline Jordan:

The committee will probably be aware of the children and young people's services committees, CYPSCs. A lot of work is happening across those committees. I got data from our national office to say that, currently, of all of the CYPSCs, there is Traveller enrolment organisation engaged in the structure. It is also very much a needs analysis approach. They have children and young people's plans every three years. Where there is a need for an integrated, co-ordinated approach with statutory agencies on that committee, plans are then put in place. Twenty-three of those CYPSCs have responses to the needs of Traveller and Roma children, young people and families. They are tracking to make sure all those children and young people's plans have children's and young people's voices and the community's voices in them. We support that very much. We lead that work but it is very much a piece of work that is based on need but also participation. That is up to age 24. If we were able to drill into that work a bit more, I think there is some learning in terms of how those needs analyses have been addressed. That is a key bit, that we use the implementation structures we have. I do agree, though, that with NTRIS II, there are particular actions for children and young people that Tusla has actions on and then there would be the Department of education and others. There is a piece around identifying the needs of children and making sure it is really co-ordinated well, but we have to think about the family approach.
