Ms Michelle Strahan:
Deputy Mitchell mentioned Tusla. We make referrals to Tusla if we feel there is a risk to the child's welfare in the future. Sometimes we can link them in with some additional services as a result of that, for example a family support service. That is usually when there are other issues going on in the family as well. It is not just that we can refer on to them as a follow up.
